Hello! This video tells you a little bit about what I do. Not why I do it, that's a whole different set of videos. I love to paint and make pretty things. Ch...

Anna uses the versatility of acrylic paint with palette knife and texture-making tools for energetic creations, turning local, natural subjects, with a touch of abstract whimsy, into fine art or practical products created from acrylics, watercolor, or experimental printmaking.

Anna Barnhart is an artist who has been creating prophetic art for almost 10 years in the Southwest Michigan area, both live for services, conferences, and in studio with her other work. She loves examining, viewing, and creating art though a Biblical foundation; helping adults learn to play is both a passion and calling. Anna wants to see prophetic art encourage and help heal the community, while providing an opportunity for people to find God encounters just for them. She holds associates degrees in Liberal Arts and Animation from KVCC, but prefers getting her hands messy with paint and texture. Anna’s artwork can be seen in local art fairs, her website, YouTube channel, or at the occasional farmers market.
