Welcome to A Glimpse of Joy!!

It is my hope that this website will inspire you to connect with God in a deeper way (maybe in a new way!) - creatively or otherwise!

Please feel free to look around and don’t forget to check out my in-person classes available in the Saskatoon area (under events - at the top of this page).

Smiles, Heidi guenther.

It was a gorgeous day to drop off one of our sons at camp. I was a bit sad to see some signs of fall already - some yellow just beginning to appear on some of the trees. It feels soooo early! Fall is one of my favourite seasons but I hope it doesn’t come too quickly as it’s only mid August! #livingwaterscamp #goodfortheheart

Remembering this today. @morganharpernichols has the best quotes. So many of them resonate deeply in me! #quote #thelittlebookofwatercolour #choosingjoy #handlettering #dippenandink #thepowerofwords #aglimpseofjoy

Day 32 - pay attention to your thoughts!! Not all of them are “from you”. I’m so glad that we can ask for God’s help with our thought life and mental health - it’s made a difference in my life! #100daysoflesshustlemorejesus #illustratedfaith #faithitsociety #documentedfaith #canadianbibleartjournaling

Day 31 - 100 Days of Less Hustle, More Jesus. I found one of my scribbly gals in my stash - her hair symbolizes a stressed out person to me (lol!) I don’t know about you, but trying to live up to the rat race and other people’s expectations can stress me out! The devotional talked about releasing those things to Jesus instead - which means (in my eyes anyway) unhooking from stress, and unhooking from expectations that may not be right for you. Instead - to act and react out of emotional maturity, healthy boundaries and love - as much as possible. I’m so not perfect at it all, but I invite you to join me and to give yourselves grace to try daily and to do the best you/we can with an attitude that says our best is enough. It’s enough whether other people validate it or not. Peace and grace to you today!! #canadianbibleartjournaling #illustratedfaith #illustratedfaithcommunity #christianartists #thrivingchristianartists #communityofchristiancreatives #documentedfaith #100daysoflesshustlemorejesus

I had a lot of fun with this piece, trying to follow @makewells tips on her feed (on Instagram). As I thought about what words I wanted, this hymn kept coming to mind - “Every Hour I need thee”. But I like the word “you” better than thee... don’t you?! For those of you interested in Bible Art Journaling with paint - she’s got a book on this coming out very, very soon!! I’m looking forward to reading it. 😀 #bibleartjournaling #canadianbibleartjournaling #documentedfaith #illustratedfaith #illustratedfaithcommunity #bibleartcommunity #creativityandfaith #dailycreative

A bit about Heidi…

 

You’ll often find Heidi in her Studio creating art or learning & experimenting with new arts and crafts techniques while trying to avoid dipping her paintbrush into her coffee. Heidi enjoys connecting with friends at coffee shops, art making get-togethers, and games nights. Heidi enjoys bringing her iPhone to capture beautiful moments on her nature walks (something that helps motivate her to walk the family dog), and spending time with her three boys and husband.

Heidi teaches a variety of Mixed Media, Workshops, Watercolour Workshops and Bible Art Journaling Workshops from home and in shops in the Saskatoon area and beyond.

Heidi’s primary medium of choice is acrylic paint and she loves Mixed Media. You’ll find her dabbling in Watercolour, painting on rocks and leaves, creating Bible Art Journaling pages, experimenting in her journals, creating cards, carving rubber stamps, wood-burning, creating colouring pages, doodling, lettering, calligraphy, making bookmarks, jewelry and more!!

Follow Heidi on her instagram account: @aglimpseofjoy to keep up with her #dailycreative endeavors.

Contact, Connection & Comments

If you want to connect with me (Heidi) or to leave any comments - please fill in the form to send an email.  I'll try my best to get back to you in a timely manner. I find that I am more productive (with time management) if I schedule an hour or so to respond to email on certain days, and then set aside similar chunks of time to fill orders or paint - so please don't worry if it takes me a few days to respond. Thanks! Just put <**Attention> at the top of your message if you want a really quick response. I look forward to chatting with you.
