This painting is one of a series of mixed-media features called Paper Dolls. Paper Dolls are figures drawn onto watercolor paper and then dressed up with acrylic paints before being fixed to an acrylic background on canvas.
Michelle spent the day painting this beauty during worship sets at the REAL Women Conference. She named it after the Parable in Matthew 13, believing that God calls us as women His pearl of great price. The name also honors the ministry of the Lead Pastor at The Ranch who lovingly calls the women she ministers to her “PEARLS.”

In less than 24 hours, inspired by prayer and the theme “FREE” for a women’s church conference, Michelle created “Into Marvelous Light”. Part of her Paper Dolls series, it features mixed-media elements on canvas. The artwork symbolizes the spiritual transformation experienced by attendees and aligns with Biblical themes of transformation and identity.
In her vibrant “Paper Dolls” mixed-media series, artist Michelle Bentham intertwines divine inspiration with artistic expression. “Daddy’s Blessing” depicts her deepening relationship with God, likening herself to the precious pearl a merchant sold everything to possess. Her artwork is a vivid testament to the transformative power of God’s paternal love and the priceless value He places on His children.
