Rev. Dr. Sandra Byland
ARTIST OF GOD'S LOVE

Welcome to my Art Gallery and Shop, "Jesus God and Grace." I am an ordained Interfaith Christian Minister with a Doctorate in Humane Religious Studies. I have also been a professional fine artist for over 50 years. I call myself an "ARTIST OF GOD'S LOVE." It has truly been my LIFE LONG CALLING since I was a tiny child to use my artwork and God-given ability to help show God's love for all. It is my life's mission and this is my ministry. My work is inspired solely by God's precious love.
 

My work hangs in collections in many countries around the world. I work in a number of mediums, including highly detailed colored pencil, gouache, watercolor, graphite pencil, acrylic and now I have added digital mediums as well to my palette. These include Corel Painter, Midjourney, Photoshop and Firefly. For me, it is not about the medium but the message: whatever tools I can use portray and share that message from my heart of the love of Christ, and of God's ever-present love and grace for all.
 

I am also an Ordained Animal Chaplain, having created the world's first Animal Chaplain Training and Ordination Program, nearly 25 years ago. I honor all of God's children - including all the animals. The beautiful creatures with whom we share our world call to us to respond to life with deeper compassion, kindness, understanding and caring. We are the stewards of God's beautiful creation.
 

May you find blessings, comfort, peace and joy through my art.
