Hello friend, welcome!

I'm Caitlin, and I create art for those who appreciate moody classic art and believe the work they hang on the wall should be meaningful and purposeful.

Paintings from my easel feel comfortingly traditional and tuck away rich symbols for later discovery. With old world style aesthetics and the occasional dream-like elements, I craft my pieces to compliment your space with steady peace and elegance. I aim to create timeless work that you'll treasure for years to come.

As an oil painter my goal is to capture on canvas subjects that remind people there is always hope in the pursuit of Love and eternal Truth.

I hope you'll find art you love here! Thanks for visiting.


PRINTS ARE FINALLY AVAILABLE HERE ON THE WEBSITE! PRAISE THE LORD!

Canvas totes, mini magnets, journals and more are coming soon!

Featured Commission

  • Thank you Marion!

    I'm honored to share that the newly released book With All Your Heart's cover art was kindly commissioned by Marion Dunkerley. I was able to paint an original work by the same title in line with her vision for dried florals and feathers representing the steady faithfulness and presence of God through the seasons of life.

    Her book on trusting God, With All Your Heart is available now on Amazon HERE.

    Thank you Marion for this opportunity and the pleasure of creating a meaningful piece to compliment your lovely new book.

Artist Statement

My passion is to create both traditional and surrealist pieces that move art lovers to boldness in their faith. I firmly believe that each person is created with an eternal purpose and specific gifts that only they possess. My work encourages the viewer to dare to dream and leap into all that God has planned for them.


I paint not just for the sake of capturing beauty alone but to empower art enthusiasts to display deeply symbolic art that is subtle and yet inspires conversations about the true beauty and peace found in Jesus.

Soli Deo Gloria

About the artist

Caitlin Newkerk lives in Murfreesboro Tennessee with her husband David, their three children, and 15 chickens. She homeschools her children, enjoys gardening, and hates laundry. She paints in a moody old world style that occasionally slides into spiritual surrealism. She focuses primarily on using traditional oil paint on canvas to depict her favorite themes.

The story behind the artist... a love affair dies:

Caitlin's love affair with fine art started very young in no small part due to the influence of her creative parents and arts loving grandparents on both sides. Her husband David has been her biggest and most generous supporter over the last 17 years.

Despite an intense love of painting, Caitlin's desire to fight for a career in fine art died not long after entering college for that very major. The truth is that she believed the lies she was told by unfulfilled and unhappy people. "No one wants pretty, happy, and religious art" and "You'll never be able to make a real living as a traditional style oil painter" echoed in her heart. She was too naive and discouraged to spot the lie. Instead of pursuing a career in painting alone, over the next two decades Caitlin moved on to study interior design, ran a floral design business, sold a huge variety of handmade products, and taught paint and sip classes. None of these beautiful outlets really got to the heart of what she felt she was meant to do, but God was using it all to craft a much richer, vibrant style and point of view than she would never have had at the age of 18.

Resurrection of a dream:

After 20 years of growing her skills in the background, Caitlin felt the irresistible call back to a career in fine art. When she sat down to paint in oils again after years of quick acrylic it was like dancing to an old familiar song. Smelling the oils and feeling the buttery texture glide on the canvas was like coming home. She felt empowered to paint with clarity and joy like never before.

Caitlin is currently working on building up several new collections to be released in 2026 and beyond.
