Every summer at Park Church, we spend several weeks in the Psalms. The Psalms give us a vocabulary and a “hymnal” for relating to God through the full range of human experience and emotion, ultimately pointing us to Jesus. We’re in our thirteenth summer of “Christ in the Psalms.” This year will take us from Psalm 140 to Psalm 150.

My name is Olivia, and I’m a Colorado Native and artist! I’ve been drawing since I was a kid and am so honored that Park has provided such a creative outlet to integrate artists into the church experience.
This is gouache on board. Gouache is essentially a more opaque version of watercolor that allows you to really layer and build up color. It is my preferred media because it lets me use a variety of techniques and create multiple textures!
The Doxology is one of my favorite pieces of church liturgy, so reading Psalm 148 I immediately felt a familiar pull towards it. The concept of every part of creation being called to celebrate the power of Christ has the ability to make you feel important and insignificant all at once. Every aspect of creation was lovingly formed by a powerful God, and we are a valued piece of that.
I wanted to capture the vastness of creation, as well as the minute details that we are also made up of. From mountains and seas, to galaxies and the human body; we are a valued part of the divine creation of Christ.

Jason Procopio and his family have been faithfully serving and planting churches in the heart of Paris, France for more than ten years. Jason updated us on Église Connexion, their exciting, missional growth as a church, and their current opportunity to secure a permanent location in the middle of Paris.

Hey, I’m Alison! I do product marketing and graphic design and live in Denver, CO with my pup, Nala. I studied marketing and graphic design in college and fell in love with digital art and design.
This piece is a Digital illustration made on Procreate (shout out to the iPad and the Apple Pencil).
Psalm 147 has some iconic verses that speak to the vastness of God’s glory. I started this piece inspired by the imagery of space and the cosmos, but changed direction mid way through. I ended up incorporating the stars with one of my favorite pieces of symbolism and my favorite things to draw, a twisted tree trunk. For me, the tree trunk is a representation of God’s faithfulness and his character, with beautifully hidden mysteries throughout and steadiness that endures all seasons.

I’ve always been drawn to the themes of topography in scripture. In fact, the theme of gardens, God as the great gardener in John 15, and Mary mistaking the resurrected Jesus for a gardener is why we chose to name our oldest daughter, Eden. My soul stirs as I consider how rocks cry out (Luke 19:40) or all creation groans, (Romans 8:22), or the heavens pour forth speech and reveal knowledge day after day (Psalm 19). While reflecting on Psalm 145, I couldn’t shake the two juxtaposed themes of God’s splendor, glory, majesty, greatness next to his tender care, kindness, and sheer goodness.
To me, summers in Colorado pour forth speech. The mountains to me speak of Gods greatness and power and glory, and yet the wildflowers of the field that He clothes speak of his kindness and tender care. His greatness and his goodness know no match. I aimed to place the landscape and the flower study side by side as a representation of these two beautiful truths. He is incomprehensibly glorious and he is intimately good. Thanks be to God.
