Meet Rachel Juanita

I’m Rachel Juanita, mixed media artist, teacher and spiritual formation coach.

When creativity is a calling

“I will allure her, and lead her into the wilderness, and speak comfort to her. I will give her bouquets of roses. I’ll turn Heartbreak Valley Into Acres of Hope. She shall CREATE there, as in the days of her youth, as in the day when she came up from the land of Egypt.”

– Hosea 2:14-16

The sacred text above beautifully depicts my journey to and with art. In a time of trauma and heartache, God used art to allure me into a sacred and safe space to heal my heart and empower my Soul to Reign. There in the marks I was able to express the fullness of my emotions and create something beautiful out of pain and mess. Each creation became a dance with Our Creator and a beautiful step on the journey of emotional, spiritual and cultural healing. Art was more than paint on paper, it was and is a place of communion, creation and ministry.
