Artist

Shawn Collins

I did not make myself to be creative,
I am creative by design.

Art has always been a part of Shawn's life. In childhood doodles, pursuing his art degree, and working full time as a designer, the challenge of bringing images from his imagination into reality has been a rewarding and worthwhile endeavor.

After roughly twenty years of creating art for his own purposes, a new desire took root in Shawn's life, a love for the glory of God. This new desire grew into a passion for using his talents to display God's glory, and also to encourage other artists who follow Christ to do the same. His prayer is that artists will join together in using their range of creative skills and abilities given by God in such a way that it draws others to Christ rather than simply to their art.

Currently Shawn lives in Oklahoma with his wife and two kids.
