Rachel's Viewfinder

My art is my life. It’s often said that art is about art for art’s sake. Yet I create with a medium that has a message. As a believer, the message is the same: “repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near.” My art exists to put flesh to “the Word was with God and the Word was God.” Everything is about relating the message, “the Kingdom of Heaven is near,” through art, life, practice and expression. I desire to engage other Christian artists in living out the Great Commission through the arts. Join me in this declaration of the Father's love!

Redesigned Website

Rachelfinder.com has been given a facelift!  While I definitely enjoyed the hand-drawn elements of my previous design, the structure left much to be desired.  In addition, the focus of my website has slowly been changing over the past year.  The new design is powered by Business Bullpen’s “Single A” theme.

Design Changes:

First off, the clutter is gone!  As great as the old design elements were cool and hand-drawn, now there’s only one thing competing for your attention: the content.  The blog itself is up and center.

Second, the extra content is organized in a new set of navigation links on the upper right.  All the content in the links has been re-written and adapted as well, hopefully providing easier access to the information.

Third, my series on Arts, Faith and Inspiration is featured right on the home page.  No more sifting through back pages of posts to find each post.

Content Changes:

The focus of rachelfinder.com in previous years has strictly been my mission work.  Growing in the understand of my calling over the past three years, I’ve come to see that as a Christian artist, my missionary calling is an extension of my passion for art and ministry.  As a result, there’s much more to be added to the conversation.  The new content on rachelfinder.com reflects these additions.

In recent months, the Lord has given me a number of ideas to encourage other Christian artists about integrating the Great Commission into their artistic lifestyle.  I plan to share those ideas, as well as my own experiences living out the Great Commission as a Christian artist.  Also, I’m looking forward to sharing project ideas, inspiration and creativity tips, and other life-hacking skills in the coming months.  Be on the look-out for the new content!

I’ll close this post with a quote from the great Mark Twain: “The two most important days in your life are the day you were born, and the day you find out why.”
