Sherry Barnes is a passionate artist with a particular affinity for watercolor painting. She skillfully incorporates Prismacolors and black ink to outline and enhance her designs, making the watercolor elements truly stand out. Her artistic repertoire includes vibrant depictions of flowers, animals, and insects, as well as intricate collages. Currently, Sherry is exploring the use of diverse mediums and experimenting with larger canvases to expand her creative horizons.
Introducing Cynthia Borsellino, a multifaceted artist whose creative journey transcends the boundaries of music and poetry, all driven by her deep passion for Jesus. Her album, "A Cry of an Intercessor," is a heartfelt collection of songs and poems, including contributions from her daughter, that emerged during a transformative season of life. These works serve as her earnest cries to God, bringing healing and freedom from depression and mental anguish, and are a testament to her faith and devotion.
Teresa Ann Criswell is a daughter, sister, wife, mom, grandma and mother-in-love. She is grateful to be a daughter of God as from that place of identity she loves to write, blog and podcast.
Kim was born again during the Jesus People era and has had the joy of growing in faith since that time. She and her husband met at Maranatha House in Tucson, Arizona (a Christian commune for hippies built on the grounds of a vibrant church), and will celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary Jan 3, 2026. After both retired, they moved to Texas, living four blocks from their son, daughter-in-love and 7 wonderful grandchildren.
Jennie Schut is an award-winning artist, author of Waking Up Grey: An Exploration of Creative Awakening and certified Enneagram Applications Professional.
Since 2012, Sherry has found great joy in creating custom paintings, a process she begins with a heartfelt prayer for the recipient. Her paintings often carry a personal touch, with scripture and uplifting messages inscribed on the back, reflecting her love for encouraging others.
Cynthia's artistic expression is not limited to music alone. She draws inspiration from a variety of creative disciplines, much like an author weaving narratives in a book or an artisan crafting homemade bird baths. Her work resonates with the same depth and care found in the creation of essential oils, where each note and scent is carefully blended to evoke a sense of peace and well-being, reflecting her spiritual journey. 
Teresa Ann will say that her life really began in 2003 when on March 6th, she was forever transformed. Forever changed by one touch of God's Love. Since that time, for over 20 years she has been writing as a blogger and author. She has often said that she would want all the works of her hands and heart to be evidence of her receiving God's love and forgiveness. Her great passion is when she comes into contact with anyone, she wants them to only remember the forever transformative, Breath of GOD. This would be her greatest desire to leave that kind of legacy; the supernatural legacy of Christ Jesus. Teresa Ann would find that a life well lived.
New to Texas since retirement, she has tutored students, met new friends and shared life with women of faith, growing with them as they walk together through the Waking Up Grey book.
She is founder of Fly Forward, an organization that aids creative and spiritual exploration, awakening and flourishing through educational materials, small groups, retreats, workshops, individual art instruction, creative direction and leadership training. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in painting from Middle Tennessee State University and a certificate in Spiritual Direction from Selah Center for Spiritual Formation. She works primarily with oils and encaustic, a wax-based medium.
