About The Artist

My name is Mandy Steward. I am an artist. I think you are one too. We are all painting on our own Messy Canvas. I invite you to be purposeful and passionate about what you are painting on yours.

I like to paint on mine with words. Word pictures that reveal the spiritual that lurks even in the mundanest of moments. But I also don’t like to limit myself to a medium, so I explode wherever the Muse leads me.

I have a lot of favorite descriptive words for myself: rebel, maverick, gypsy, hippie, mystic, artist, questioner, prophetess, translator, reader of obscure texts, nurturer, fierce, messy, childlike, free, imperfect, dreamer, obsessed, yogi, learner, whisperer, explorer, traveler, vulnerable. They are all understandings of myself I have picked up along the way. The list continues to grow.

I am married to Tony and we have four kids: Zoe, Charis, Nehemiah & Luther.

I am extremely passionate about a lot of things.

• I believe that life is good and we are to live it to the fullest.
• I believe in restoring beauty.
• I believe in touching lives and fighting for free hearts.
• I believe I’m created for a purpose.
• I believe I’m constantly learning.
• I believe life is messy.
• I believe I’m doing the best I can.

What feeds my soul?
Words. Splashes of color. Story. Music. Nature. The beach. Creating. Ever unfolding mystery. Imperfection bathed in hope. Asking others what feeds their soul.

What feeds yours?
