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.”

This work was commissioned by a woman who spends her life on behalf of others. She walks through the fires of other people’s lives and doesn’t even smell like smoke. She asked me to paint her something around the Hillsong anthem, “Another in the Fire.”
This song, based on the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, speaks about the grace that God offers us when we walk through the fires of life.
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.
