The Artists & Facilitators
Sara Thurman has been practicing her calling of becoming an artist for God since she heard His clear call in October 2014. She has painted over 900 paintings since that call. Sara had never considered herself an artist, in fact has never taken an art class before God told her who she was. She is releasing her first book, Small Beginnings: A Journey to the Impossible in the spring 2019. It is her story full of testimonies of how her art speaks about the love of Jesus. She is a retired teacher and administrator in Texas public schools. She has a heart of encouragement and intercession to release the hope and light and love of Jesus to others.
Sara lives in Wimberley, Texas with Wayman, her husband of nearly 34 years. Two sons and daughter-in-loves call her Mom and she is awaiting the arrival of her first granddaughter in late March, 2019. She and Wayman started an art ministry called Acts 1:8 Blessings in early 2017. Follow her journey on Instagram at: @actsoneeightblessings and www.actsoneeightblessings.com
Ann Younger is an artist and also a Certified Pastoral Counselor who often incorporates creativity into the therapeutic process. Her pastoral mission is dedicated to restoration, encouraging, affirmation, and ministering God’s Truth. Ann has had a love for creativity her whole life. Before going into practice, she had a successful business where she sold her crafts and art in several shops throughout Texas. Since retiring her counseling practice in Sugar Land, Ann has been drawn back into creating art full time. Her main medium is acrylic painting. She now resides in Jonestown, Texas on the north shore of Lake Travis with her husband Roland. Ann is “Mom” to two grown sons and a daughter in-love. She has two grandchildren who call her “ZsaZsa”.

I will be painting live at Creative Dreams Fundraiser. The painting will be auctioned off benefiting this wonderful ministry. Creative Dreams opens its doors to young people who are in situations that may put them at risk. They can come to the Center after school and receive help with homework, a hot meal, and lessons in the Arts: Dance, Music, Art and more. They learn about the love of God and what it means to live for Him.
Beautiful Feet Studio presents their Bringing Good Market at Briscoe Junior High in Richmond Texas. Proceeds will be donated to their 501c3, “Hand Picked, Inc.”

I will have a large selection of artwork at this event that is sponsored by the Austin Junior Forum
I’ll have some new painted wood artwork that has been created on rescued wood. All proceeds from my painted wood series will go to the orphanage in China, Grace and Hope for Children. My dear friend, retired Brigadier General Bob Page is the President for the Board of Directors for this beautiful ministry. It’s such an honor to be able to support the Grace and Hope for Children who rescues babies in China from being warehoused in facilities that are not so nurturing. Because of Grace and a Hope these babies are found by their forever families through adoption.
I will have some of my paintings in Art on 12 Gallery during the months of August and September 2017. The gallery is in the heart of Wimberly Texas. I hope you can visit the gallery during these two months. You can also view some of my dear friend's work, Sara Thurman. All of the art on display is ready for purchase.
