"Like panes of colored glass filtering sunlight, Mandie Manzano’s work seems fit for a Monastery or faraway castle. Gentle maidens and lush environments fill each scene, crafting a story and enchanting the eyes. Manzano builds her compositions with light as her primary medium. Rays break through, colors gradate, and warmth permeates throughout. Each is a luminous patchwork of vibrant blocks, connected by bold tendrils and patterned stripes. Capturing an ineffable beauty, Manzano’s work reminds us that our full brilliance is revealed only when our own light from within shines through."

Newest piece “heir of heaven

Our heavenly Father calls you chosen.

He calls you holy and He calls you blameless.

He calls you his child and an heir to His throne.

He says you’re fearfully and wonderfully made.

That you’re a workmanship of His hand, a valuable masterpiece.

Any horrible choices that you’ve made do not define who you are.

That you do not have to stay broken…

but that you are justified and made new in Christ.

He says you’re a citizen of heaven.

That you’re an ambassador for His kingdom.

That you are no longer a slave to the things that bring you down and no where near the negative things people speak over you.

He calls you His friend.

That you are exceedingly loved and that nothing will ever separate the love He has for you.

Whatever anyone tells you, has said about you, has spoken over you or however bad you feel or think about yourself, please do me a favor and read what the creator of the stars calls you. Open up and let Him speak to your heart so that you can know His.

“God and love are synonymous. Love is not an attribute of God, it is God; whatever God is, love is.” —Oswald Chambers
