Our Story

Welcome, kindred spirit!

Min here, and the artist behind Truth and Beauty Studio™. I am honored that you would consider something created by me to adorn your home or be gifted to a loved one. Thank you so much allowing me to a part of your life-giving exchange.

I live and work in the northeast, embraced by the four seasons and the glorious beauty that each one brings to my family's life. As a homeschool mom of four creative children, my studio is a corner of my bedroom, and occasionally the dining room table that overlooks our gloriously massive Magnolia tree.

My inspiration is, and always will be, God Himself, and the numerous ways He reveals Himself and His magnificent love through His Word primarily, and also through people and His created universe.

As I discovered new ways to nurture and protect my thirst of God’s Word and linger in His presence, my love of painting and creating lovely things with my hands was rekindled. In particular, I wanted to create beautiful ways to easily meditate upon, and hide, God’s Word in my heart, and the hearts of my children.

Once squashed as impractical child's play, now in my second half of life, the Lord has restored me to "a spacious place" (Psalm 18:19), where my creativity can be expressed as prayerful worship.

It’s my hope that you and your loved ones will be blessed through the products I create here, that they would stir longing for Christ’s return, and keep us practicing His Presence in our daily lives as we hide His Living Word in our hearts.

Our God is good and worthy of all praise.

For the King & His Renown,

Min

P.S. It’s my hope and plan to be able to give a portion of the proceeds from this small home business to support 3 ministries that are near and dear to my heart:

(1) Women’s Hope Center Korea, which I founded in 2010. With its crisis pregnancy counseling center and safe homes (the first of its kind), this nonprofit ministry served, and continues to serve, pregnant women escaping sex trafficking, sexual exploitation, and forced abortion situations.

(2) Girls’ Home in Albania, which we visited last summer and our church supports. I had the wonderful opportunity to spend time there, and in particular, the eldest caught my heart as she was about to “graduate” from the orphanage. She was determined to go to college to be equipped to help girls who have experienced similar pain and loss. My hope is to be able to support her efforts and participate in God’s good plan for her life.

(3) Life-giving Motherhood (LGM), which is a nonprofit ministry I founded in 2021. LGM provides resources and support to Gospel-shaped, Jesus-dependent moms all around the world, and especially our missionary-sisters. I believe mothers are our children’s first theologian, and therefore it is crucial we are immersed in God’s Word and continually, intentionally, deepening our relationship with Jesus our Lord and King. To this end, LGM exists.

Thank you for your support and partnership in being able to give to these worthy ministries through your choosing to shop at Truth & Beauty Studio!
