Hello, I am Sheila Atchley —
Artist. Author. Fire-kindler to women in midlife & fourth quarter.
I believe beauty is a practice.
I believe if I encourage the women, I encourage the world.

A Sampling of My Art
I have just opened a new free mini class, and I would love to invite you in.
It is called:
Learn Lectio Divina: Paint Isaiah 60
This class is for anyone who wants to come close to Scripture in a slower, more creative, more embodied way.
It is for the spiritually curious.
It is for the artistically curious.
It is for the lifelong believer who wants Scripture to feel fresh again.
It is for the reconstructing believer - because “deconstruction” is so 2020.
It is for the person who has always wanted to make art but felt a little shy about beginning.
It is for the person who suspects that beauty may be one of the ways God is getting their attention.
Today my husband signed his name on a stack of papers and handed the next guy the keys to thirty years.
Thirty years of spiritual community, altar calls, salvations, and feasting - both spiritual food and physical food. Thirty years of babies dedicated and saints mourned.
