Welcome! I’m Gayla Irwin, a watercolor artist

and spiritual director

I create nature-inspired art to help people slow down, notice beauty, and enjoy the healing benefits of creativity.

I am so proud of The Creative Way, a monthly digital membership that blends art, reflection, and contemplative prayer. Through watercolor and the practice of Visio Divina, you are invited to slow down, notice beauty, and connect with God through art.

My faith-inspired watercolor art features botanical and nature motifs such as pomegranates, prickly pear cactus, buffalo, floral crosses, sheep, and more—each one a reminder of wonder, hope, and grace woven into the natural world.

In my shop, you’ll find art prints, greeting cards, stickers, tea towels, gifts, and seasonal collections—all created to encourage reflection and bring a touch of sacred beauty to everyday life. Whether you’re looking for something meaningful for your home or a thoughtful gift for someone you love, I hope my art helps you pause, breathe, and remember that beauty is one of the ways God speaks to us.
