Here is an example of Gretchen's versatility.  She can draw deftly, paint exquisite pictures with skill and dexterity, and create something from her imagination and feelings without any planning.  These pictures are examples of her taking a feeling, letting her imagination go, and intuiting this feeling through art.  She is never alone when she paints or creates, for she always feels the presence of the power of God working through her.
