the EPIC 2024
Painting with God
The Epic-a Chronological and Visual Guide through the Old Testament
In 2019, God gave me a dream and showed me how to approach the Old Testament in a visual way. This dream really changed the way I was viewing and studying the scriptures. I started seeing scripture in the context of the bigger picture and the whole story of God.
I began to understand what I would like to call the ‘FULL GOSPEL’ or ‘EPIC STORY’. I realized that through the dream, God had given me a copy of the blueprint for this ‘Epic’ story and the format for this book.
We are not randomly placed in history. Life and the path of history that we are on; has a destiny and a purpose for the future. There is a path that history had to take, is taking and still needs to take. There is a heavenly timeline, and we feature exactly where God intended for us to be born on this blueprint of history as it is unfolding. We have a designated time frame allocated to us, to connect with him and reveal him to the world. We participate in his ‘Epic’. We are all contributing and participating in this plan. We are all designed into this blueprint, all the while the wheel of the ‘Epic’ (Gospel -time), is moving forward until the time that the world is set right and our Savior returns.
The timeline is not linear but circular in motion, like a spiral equal to the golden ratio. The timeline doesn’t venture continually into new territory like a train steaming forward to its destination, but rather continually going around and over territory already crossed, but always in a new time zone. The path continually leads us up Jacob’s ladder to a higher revelation, until the kingdom of earth is truly and fully transformed into the kingdom of heaven.
Before I go any further, I need to back track and bring you up to speed with how I got to thinking this way. This was a process and even though I am sure the process began at my conception; I have a record of it since 2016 in my journal.
the Puffer fish constructs a Masterpiece of love
In 2016 the most incredible BBC-earth video came up on my Facebook feed about the Chinese Puffer Fish’s masterpiece of love. The story is essentially about a very bland Puffer fish. He has no frills nor color to attract a mate. He does however have a unique and incredible creative skill by which he can burrow a perfect mandala in the sand to attract his mate!
It takes him 7 days to paint this beautiful love web. *(This immediately made me think of the 7 days of Creation).
Reference: BBC-Earth, Life Story Ep05 – Courtship – Puffer Fish
(From Netflix)
On that day, I journalled this prayer…
“Lord I am desperate for you. Just like this puffer fish, draw me into your mandala of love and show me the deep secrets of your heart. Lure me into your love story and let me participate in your supernatural plan.”
I started faithfully unpacking scripture in this visual way. I intentionally paid attention to every detail of my life. I started noticing that everything I was going through felt like the biblical stories playing out in my life. The characters of the Old Testament started becoming real. Their stories were playing out, as according to a script, in my family life, my church life and my personal challenges. I started seeing my story in theirs.
During this time of seriously digging into scriptures and what I would come to call “threshing”, the Lord used the stories of the Old Testament to reveal his purpose and his promise for my life. He taught me to recognize patterns and parallels between the spiritual realm, scripture and how we experience life. As a result, he and I wrote ‘Crossing the Jordan River…stepping into destiny’. I had started this “threshing” journey with my creative womb desperately barren and longing for purpose.
It is my desire that you too will be drawn into the love-web of God’s Word. I pray that as you search out the scriptures, this visual world will open up to you and stir you to be hungry for more.
My Dream, – a “Visual Language”
On the 27th of May 2019, while I was writing ‘Crossing the Jordan River’,
the Lord gave me a significant dream regarding a ‘VISUAL LANGUAGE’.
In the dream, I was in a nursing home amongst newborn babies and handicapped children. None of the children could speak or form any kind of language. The staff of this home were all dressed in white, like nurses. They were enjoying complex and deep conversations with the children. I was thinking in my dream; this is a phenomenon!
I asked them how this even is possible? I also wanted to communicate like this. They proceeded to explain that the language is made up of visually recorded sounds, marked on a virtual Cartesian plane, an X-Y graph.
Starting in the top right-hand quadrant (+XY), the listener would fill in marks according to the sounds spoken. The recording had to be done in the pattern of the Fibonacci circle or more commonly known as the ‘golden ratio’.
Once that quadrant was filled, they had to move on to each consecutive quadrant in the clockwise direction and continue recording the sounds with marks. Only once all the quadrants had been filled, could the entire conversation be understood.
In other words, the conversation is not linear. We don’t understand as each sound is spoken, but only when all the sounds are mapped, like a mosaic coming together, do we understand the whole conversation.
The Epic painting
a ‘Supernatural Masterpiece’
After I published my book, “Crossing the Jordan River “in 2020,
I felt strongly led by Holy Spirit to unpack the seasons of the barren womb
I had written about, according to this pattern of the ‘Visual Language’.
I literally drew the Cartesian plane that I had seen in my dream, on a large sheet of paper and I mapped out the seasons of the Barren Womb with the relevant scripture for each story, starting in the right-hand side quadrant.
I wanted to paint something significant. I wanted to paint with God, since the Lord had been showing me the value of co-creating with him. I decided to paint the stories and encounters for each season on 4 canvases, just as I had unpacked them in my diagram. Intuitively, I planned out the painting.
You can read more about this intuitive prophetic art on my website and blogs.
https://intuitivepropheticart.co.za/
The Lord didn’t give me all the pieces of the puzzle at once. The painting was truly a process of creating in faith, as and when Holy Spirit brought things to my attention. I was determined not to overthink the process but simply paint for pleasure and follow Holy Spirit’s leading and prompting me in his timing. It took 2 years for the ‘EPIC’ painting to come together.

Father - Identity
GOD THE FATHER: “BELOVED” my identity
ROMANS 8:16-17 (AMP)
16 The Spirit Himself testifies and confirms together with our spirit [assuring us] that we [believers] are children of God. 17 And if [we are His] children, [then we are His] heirs also: heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ [sharing His spiritual blessing and inheritance], if indeed we share in His suffering so that we may also share in His glory.
ROMANS 8 V 15 (TPT)
15 And you did not receive the “spirit of religious duty,”[k] leading you back into the fear of never being good enough.[l] But you have received the “Spirit of full acceptance,”[m] enfolding you into the family of God. And you will never feel orphaned, for as he rises up within us, our spirits join him in saying the words of tender affection, “Beloved Father!”[n] 16 For the Holy Spirit makes God’s fatherhood real to us as he whispers into our innermost being, “You are God’s beloved child!”
1 JOHN 3 V 1
Look with wonder at the depth of the Father’s marvelous love that he has lavished on us! He has called us and made us his very own beloved children.
THE PAINTING
You Lord have taken all the hurt and the pain and translated it into passion and burning for you and the mystery of your word. You have allowed me to lash out, cut up and hurt you, so that you can drench the experiences in the yellow glow of your grace.
As your blue …WORD, PEACE, and TRUTH has filled my life, you have allowed me to become a deep-rooted tree that is evergreen, producing leaves for healing in every season. Each experience and lesson becoming part of the DNA of my leaves; helpful and comforting to all who find shelter in them. Each leaf now carries a message of hope… the message that I am, that we are your BELOVED!
Father - Protector
GOD THE FATHER: “PROTECTOR”
PSALM 32 V 7 (TPT)
Lord, you are my secret hiding place,
protecting me from these troubles,
surrounding me with songs of gladness!
Your joyous shouts of rescue release my breakthrough
PSALM 91 (TPT)
When you sit enthroned[a] under the shadow of Shaddai,[b]
you are hidden[c] in the strength of God Most High.
2 He’s the hope that holds me and the Stronghold to shelter me,
the only God for me, and my great confidence.
3 He will rescue you from every hidden trap of the enemy,[d]
and he will protect you from false accusation
and any deadly curse.[e]
4 His massive arms[f] are wrapped around you, protecting you.
You can run under his covering of majesty and hide.
His arms of faithfulness are a shield keeping you from harm.
5 You will never worry about an attack of demonic forces at night
nor have to fear a spirit of darkness coming against you.
6 Don’t fear a thing! Whether by night or by day, demonic danger will not trouble you,[g]
nor will the powers of evil launched against you.
7 Even in a time of disaster, with thousands and thousands being killed,
you will remain unscathed and unharmed.
8 you will be a spectator as the wicked perish in judgment,
for they will be paid back for what they have done!
9–10 When we live our lives within the shadow of God Most High,
our secret hiding place, we will always be shielded from harm.
How then could evil prevail against us or disease infect us?
11 God sends angels with special orders to protect you wherever you go,
defending you from all harm.
12 If you walk into a trap, they’ll be there for you
and keep you from stumbling.
13 You’ll even walk unharmed among the fiercest powers of darkness,[h]
trampling every one of them beneath your feet!
14 For here is what the Lord has spoken to me:
“Because you have delighted in me as my great lover,
I will greatly protect you.
I will set you in a high place, safe and secure before my face.
15 I will answer your cry for help every time you pray,
and you will find and feel my presence
even in your time of pressure and trouble.
I will be your glorious hero and give you a feast.
16 You will be satisfied with a full life and with all that I do for you.
For you will enjoy the fullness of my salvation!”
Father - Provider
GOD THE FATHER: “PROVIDER”
PHILIPPIANS 4V 19
And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.
MATHEW 7 V 7-8(TPT)
“Ask, and the gift is yours. Seek, and you’ll discover. Knock, and the door will be opened for you. 8 For every persistent one will get what he asks for. Every persistent seeker will discover what he longs for. And everyone who knocks persistently will one day find an open door.
THE PAINTING
“Your tree is rooted in my truth and the essence of me, your father. The branches are gold as a result of growing in my presence and the fruit is plentiful. The leaves are lush, some fully developed, displaying completeness, full term and full bloom, but others are at different stages of development.
Parts of you are growing into fulness and overflowing and will still shed to impact the environment, the ground that receives. Not like a natural tree that grows stark in the winter, your tree is planted in the Spirit, in my Presence. As one leaf falls, another buds. The fallen leaves create compost that feeds the ground, the people who receive, and then re-enriches the roots and the trunks of your tree.
It is a perfect ecosystem of me, of the secrets of my kingdom. Your trunk continues to enlarge with each new season and experience. Your branches are splitting into new branches, searching out light and understanding and making new paths of understanding.
I am providing everything you need that is beyond your control; like the weather, the soil, the ones that attend to you. Everything is lined up for you to thrive and flourish and make an impact. I have paid for everything and bought every grace gift, every circumstance, so that you can be all that I have intended you to be.
Jesus Friend
JESUS “Friend”
JOHN 13 V 21 (NIV)
“One of them, the disciple whom Jesus loved, was reclining next to him.”
SONG OF SONGS 8 V 5 (TPT)
Who is this one? Look at her now!
She arises out of her desert, clinging to her beloved.
When I awakened you under the apple tree,
as you were feasting upon me,
I awakened your innermost being with the travail of birth
as you longed for more of me..
I LEAN INTO YOU MY FRIEND
How wonderful to know that I am your beloved
your friend…
and that you invite me to lean into you
your chest … your heart beat.
As I lay my head to the most intimate place of who you are,
I begin to see what you hold in you.
In a gentle whisper you speak your plans and hopes for me.
You cradle my face in the safety of your love.
You bless my eyes so that where I saw in part,
you now hide nothing from me.
You stroke my ears, to hear you loud and clear.
You utter things you have never said
secrets hidden since the creation of the world.
Jesus Companion
JESUS “Companion”
JOHN 15 V 13-15 (NKJ)
Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. 14 You are My friends if you do whatever I command you. 15 No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you.
(TPT)
I have never called you ‘servants,’[l] because a master doesn’t confide in his servants, and servants don’t always understand what the master is doing. But I call you my most intimate friends,[m] for I reveal to you everything that I’ve heard from my Father
WHEN I FIRST HEARD YOU CALL ME FRIEND.
“I walked on the beach one day collecting shells. I was hurting and had no one to share my pain and thoughts. You whispered that you were with me and asked me to unburden my load. I didn’t know how to speak to you. Engaging with you had always been from a place of reverence and wonder. I didn’t know how to be me in your presence.
As I bent low to pick up a shell, I saw your face reflected in the water and we touched, a gentle connection of two souls merging in the moment. I could almost kiss you, you felt so close. You see, I never noticed you so close before, I never bothered to look. You have always been with me. All this time I thought I was alone. Now that I see you, the chamber doors of my heart are flung open as I bare my most intimate thoughts with you and realize even in this you share yours with me.”
Jesus & Savior
HOLY SPIRIT the Savior
Luke 19:10 The Passion Translation (TPT)
9–10 Jesus said to him, “This shows that today life has come to you and your household, for you are a true son of Abraham. The Son of Man has come to seek out and to give life to those who are lost.”
Isaiah 53:5 English Standard Version (ESV)
5 But he was pierced for our transgressions;
he was crushed for our iniquities;
upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed.
MEETING JESUS AT THE WELL
While painting this I was experiencing incredible heaviness and fatigue. I felt confused, weary and on the brink of tears all the time. As a family we were going through so much. I was reading JOHN 4:6-8.Jesus was tired from his journey and sat down at Jacob’s well. He was waiting for me there, as he knew I would be in this state of mind and would come thirsty to the well. He wanted to reveal himself to me in a powerful way as my Savior. (Refer to article THE WELL)
As I bring myself to this well, you remind me Jesus that you are thorough and have wrapped and woven in perfection your plan of rescue. You understand me completely and bring to my attention even those things I don’t realize about myself. Essentially you are my soulmate and understand what will satisfy me beyond even knowing myself. You trust me with your presence, you show me honor and value in choosing to speak to me personally. You stopped to rest and refresh with me, in my company. For my sake you have allowed me to partake in what you need, in satisfying you. You are tender and trusting toward me as you share your word with me and speak things you have not even yet spoken to others.
Gazing at the painting I am drawn in…
By the wonder of you Jesus.
Hidden in your embrace, I am found…I am exposed.
The beauty I hold that only you can see,
Is drawn out in your presence and strained in your love…
Transforming it all into the “who” I am now.
I lay down my cage and unlock the shackles of my past.
I step into a new season.
I wear a mantle of anointing,
leading me to roads less travelled
and mysteries you long to reveal.
I am no longer alone, but wrapped in all that you have promised me.
Free….
Holy Spirit Comforter
HOLY SPIRIT the comforter
JOHN 16 V 7(TPT)
But here’s the truth: It’s to your advantage that I go away, for if I don’t go away the Divine Encourager will not be released to you. But after I depart, I will send him to you.
REVELATION OF COMFORT
Comfort, encouragement and hope is not in your deeds Lord. These are found in us realizing that you know us so intimately in your explicit and unfathomable understanding of who we, deep in the core of our being and even more profoundly than we know ourselves.
Comfort is experienced through your display of grace and mercy that is specific to who we are as individuals and our personal circumstances.
Your comfort is tangible in you showing us that you have got our lives, our hopes, our needs, our dreams, our fears, our pain, our failed efforts, our highs and our lows in the bigger scheme of things.
Holy Spirit Nurturer
HOLY SPIRIT the nurturer
PSALM 23 V 6(NIV)
Surely your goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
forever.
JOHN 16 V 13 (MSG)
15 “I still have many things to tell you, but you can’t handle them now. But when the Friend comes, the Spirit of the Truth, he will take you by the hand and guide you into all the truth there is. He won’t draw attention to himself, but will make sense out of what is about to happen and, indeed, out of all that I have done and said. He will honor me; he will take from me and deliver it to you. Everything the Father has is also mine. That is why I’ve said, ‘He takes from me and delivers to you.’
HOLY SPIRIT WHO FEEDS ME LIKE A YOUNG CHICK
I have felt like this dove you kindled so gently in your loving hands, feeding me bite size pieces of truth, from your very mouth, the mouth of God. As a mother bird would chew food before she passes it to her young, mouth to mouth.
You have literally been feeding me to maturity, nurturing and parenting me until my wings have been strong enough and are coated in your gold dust, your presence. You have been feeding me continually until my whole body has been prepared in your diet, taking on your strength, your comfort, your nature, your wisdom, your truth. You touch your lips too mine and kiss me with your life-giving breath, surging my whole being with love and life.
JOHN 6 V 47…. The one who feeds on me, I will become his life (like a ventilator life support)
As I painted this picture, I was so aware of the tender connection of nurture, gentle affection and deep intimate soul love. Holy Spirit, not only do you love me in this beautiful way, so intensely beyond what words can say, but you hold me with the utmost care, respecting that I am fragile and so valuable, that the price paid for me cost Jesus his life.
Holy Spirit & Teacher
HOLY SPIRIT the teacher
John 14:26-27 New King James Version (NKJV)
26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.
YOU ARE TEACHING ME UNTIL YOUR WORD IS WRITTEN ON MY HEART
While painting I am aware that you have taught me so many things, Lord. You are still teaching me.
For now, my mouth is silent as we share so much. When the time is right and things are aligned you will touch my lips with a coal and release your word as you remind me of all that you have taught me. No longer will I grieve over an unborn child, but I will soar with eagles as you unleash my voice and birth a child of promise declared from heaven’s throne room.

I have been meaning to put the following in words, as I have realized it is the most significant shift of thought in my life and quite a revelation.
I have been spending so much time in the word, and listening and searching for god’s heart for me, for my future etc… He has been so clear and faithful in leading me prophetically since always, but more clearly so since May this year.
I have realized that creativity and teaching art making is NOT JUST A HOBBY, A MEANS TO A BETTER CAREER, A PASS TIME OR SOMETHING I DO ON THE SIDE TO MAKE A LITTLE EXTRA MONEY.
I am so passionate about being creative, and getting other people to discover their creativity, that all my time and money is poured into sustaining this very thing… and here is the AHAH moment.
This is exactly who I am and what I’ve been shaped to do. And seeing it now, with fresh eyes just seems to have unlocked a universe of possibilities and opportunities.
Everywhere I go or everyone l meet, just seems to divinely network me with this amazing spiritual move of God through, art and the prophetic. The momentum of which it has its own energy, and I am just being swept up in it.
The most significant realization is that this new insight validates EVERYTHING I have been doing in my life, even since I was a little girl.
The fact that I have always been so In love with stationery, and being creative. The fact that I was always on the outside of social groups, having to learn through experience to be sensitive to the needs of others. The fact that I spent a year in Paraguay in a cultural exchange program.
The fact that money was scarce, and I always had to make things to sell for extra money.
Every problem and limitation…. not a problem to destroy me, nor God holding out on me …but to teach me to be a creative thinker, make a plan and climb the mountain in a new way, that strengthened my character and compassion.
Even my years of living in rural Kwazulu Natal and getting involved in training women affected by aids to do crafts as a means of sustainable income, all is validated. I sense that God is connecting all the dots of these seemingly random events and painting a picture of his divine purpose for me.
Jesus’s last words on earth was that we should make disciples and spread the good news. We should be encountering God daily, so that those who engage with us and what we do, also encounter Him. And in a way that is exactly what I have intentionally been doing to a lesser or greater degree, since I started teaching 19 years ago.
I have always interceded for my groups, especially at Zikulise. I’ve taught them about having a relationship with God and I have encouraged all my students to discover who they are through a relationship with Jesus. I have always intentionally pointed people back to God, and generally creativity has been the vehicle.
Now all those thoughts and desires have come a full circle.
In matric I absolutely loved the surrealist art period, and I remember excelling in my essay as to how the establishment of psychology and thoughts of Freud impacted culture and art. I was so intrigued as to what makes people tick. I read so many books on thought and the mind. Even when I was in England, I researched studying Art therapy,
But at that stage it was still a very young concept. It was only offered in Kent and not even heard of in South Africa. It was too expensive, but I also needed a diploma in psychology with an art portfolio.
Now even that dream is materializing right before my very eyes, and God has made it possible for me to attend a 5 course in art therapy.
It’s incredibly exciting to be part of this massive move of God to claim back the arts and restore its original purpose, to pave the way of culture prophetically and prescribe to people with Godly influence and ideas, the way we should be seeing things, the way we should be dressing, the way we should be engaging and celebrating. So, it’s happening through the media, fashion, drama, literature…. in every sphere of creativity that impacts our society.
Imagine that!!

Your Title Goes Here
If you have a creative idea, vision or goal, and you are struggling with how it should pan out…
In the context of this new way of approaching art making (refer post 9/11/2016), and all that God was revealing to me, I still had a journey to walk before the new course, was ready.
Well, the irony is that God already had designed the course and how it would all pan out, it was me that had to be prepared and equipped. I had committed to a two-month contract in a secular job prior to all this new insight, and even though I was bursting to birth this new baby, God in His wisdom and gentleness held me back. I was so afraid the momentum of my newfound passion and energy would dissipate in the long wait, and people would lose interest if I delayed presenting it. As we all know, everything must happen now!
But in fact, the opposite unfolded. I had much more time to gather disciples, and God was leading one person after another across my path. The opportunities to witness and draw people into what God wanted to do through art was overwhelming. Matt Tommey, author of unlocking the heart of the artist, talks about embarrassing Favor. God was going ahead of me and doing all the recruiting and preparing of hearts, making them hungry for breakthrough and more of Him in their lives. Not long, and I had enough people interested in 3 classes.
Due to my prior work commitment, I still had two months to go before I could start, and I had no idea the exact framework of the course. I was only sure, that it would be 8 sessions.
Those two months prior to starting I was so tired and fragile at night after a long day’s work, but that frame of mind kept me desperate for god’s presence and the power of the Holy Spirit. I would literally just lie and weep in the safe space of his word, or a testimony on the internet, or a random prophetic word that just seemed to speak straight to my heart. In this process. I could already then feel the weight of the responsibility of mentoring people, wanting them to encounter Jesus, and that I could potentially mess it all up.
Here in lies the miracle. It was only my responsibility to be available. God designed every lesson and topic on a as need to know basis. He was a step ahead of me all the time.
I think this valuable lesson in my life was quite profound, and perhaps helpful to you.
When God wants to do something, he stirs you, he gives you a glimpse of the dream, not all the dots are connected and not everything always has to be planned out to the last detail, or even where you find all the resources .There is a basic framework of an idea, but submitted to the leading of the Holy Spirit, through the guidance of the word of God…it’s a journey that unfolds.
Every idea, project, vision, ministry, is a creative process, an unfolding and a journey that is submitted to the Creator of all things, whose imagination and creative solutions are limitless.
As in the context of intuitive art, if we fix ourselves on a specific, detailed expectation of how any of the above should materialize, if we have a specific end product in mind and need to know all the details before we move on, we limit our creativity and the work that God might want to do. We don’t give ourselves opportunity to discover what is possible, because we have already determined the creative boundary.
I have just recently attended an art therapy workshop for five days with Psychologist and art therapist Samantha Davis. We were looking at how art is used as a therapeutic tool to bridge the gap between the unconscious and conscious. Winocott’s theory that if we hold the space for client in therapy, and we are comfortable with the unknown and not giving the client our answers, perspectives or directing the process of art making and problem solving, we then open up the opportunity for the client to discover what’s going on in their subconscious and for them to realize through their own creative problem solving all the possibilities solutions available to them. Directing a client or trying to “fix” their problem would shut down the opportunity for their own creative thinking and road to wholeness.
She says it’s in those awkward unknown, quiet moments that stuff begins to surface.
It makes sense then that when we don’t have immediate answers from God, or sense his silence in certain questions in our life…that He is holding the space for us, to be creative, or to realize truths about ourselves, to discover who He is and who we are, and what we are capable of, since he has given us everything we need.
I will be sharing how each lesson evolved and the discovery of God’s willingness to communicate with us and through us, through creativity and prophetically engaging with us through the language of images, mark-making and colour.
