"I believe my highest calling in life is my relationship with God, my husband, my children and with all people. My friends and family provide a balance in my life and keep me humble. They are all extraordinary people!
I am inspired by God for He is the creator of all beautiful things. He called me for His purpose and in obedience and love of art, I paint with all I am to worship Him" - Maria Oosthuizen.
