“God sees in you a masterpiece about to happen.” -Max Lucado
It is such a joy to collaborate with talented friends. My friend Erica and I met at one of my favorite Boba Tea places, Pearls Tea in Lawrenceville in July to collaborate on a conceptual look. Erica moved to the states several months ago from Colombia after getting married. In a previous conversation, she told me about her friends in Colombia and how they loved to collaborate and create together and after moving to the states that was a piece she greatly missed. There is something special that happens when two or more people come together. The ideas grow from another idea and then they start forming into a vision. That is how my creativity works at least. I loved this idea to collaborate. Erica is super talented and there is always something that we learn from one another when we collaborate. As we sat there at Pearl's Tea, we found pretty color schemes and started dreaming about what we liked and the vision started to take shape.
Earlier in the week, I had been thinking about how we are an unfinished masterpiece. It's God place not peoples, to paint us and bring our masterpiece to life. I've found a lot of people will try to paint a picture of you, tell you who you are and what you are supposed to be but in the end that doesn't matter. I believe that God chose us individually, which is crazy to think since there are a bazillion people in the world and even more through previous generations but Scripture says,
“I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb. Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as my prophet to the nations.”- Jerimiah 1:5.Boom!! You are known!! You are chosen !!
"For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago." -Ephesians 2:10It is a life process to create the full masterpiece that is inside each of us. My goal as an artist and creative, whether it be while leading worship or behind the lens capturing the best version of you, is to inspire you. Life can get messy, crazy, confusing, hard I could go on, but it can also be beautiful. We just have to learn how to focus on the right things.
We brought Tay our MUA into the collab and she seriously brought our vision to life. She is just getting started but is so talented. We had so much fun with the splatter paint concept. Life can be messy but also so beautiful as our Model, Lexi Greene clearly displays. This lady, like the other ladies is a super talented Hip-Hop Dancer and instructor.
I am excited to see what's next for us. The best is yet to come.
Shout out and Thanks to these girls and Erica's husband Cole for the behind the scenes shots!!!
