Primitive Prophetic Artistry teaches people with physical disabilities to discover their spiritual gifts and talents, and to develop an art form that belongs only to them. Whether you paint with your mouth, your feet, your eyes or your voice, there's a place for you here.
Bezalel was the first person in Scripture described as filled with the Spirit, and God filled him to make art. We believe that same Creator has given every person, in every body, gifts meant to be used for His glory.
To bear God's image is to carry His creativity. Making things is part of who you are, not an extra.
“So God created mankind in his own image.”Genesis 1:27
Your talents, abilities and spiritual gifts aren't accidents. We help you name them and put them to work.
“Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others.”1 Peter 4:10
What the world calls a limitation often becomes the signature of your style: a line, a texture, a vision no one else could make.
“My power is made perfect in weakness.”2 Corinthians 12:9
Our instructors are trained in adaptive techniques and tools. Together we'll find the method that fits your body, your energy and your vision.
Weighted brushes, mouth-stick holders and floor easels for painting and drawing without your hands.
Create on a screen using eye tracking, head mouse, sip-and-puff or single-switch access.
Foam grips, cuffs, splints and 3D-printed holders for limited grip, tremor or reach.
Direct an assistant or voice-controlled software stroke by stroke. Your vision, your choices.
Tactile art forms for people who create best through touch, pressure and layering.
Wheelchair-height tables, tilting easels, rest breaks built in, and carers always welcome.
“For we are God's masterpiece…”
In Ephesians 2:10 Paul calls us God's poiēma, His work of art, created for good works He prepared in advance. Before you ever pick up a brush, you are already His masterpiece. Everything you make flows from that.
A guided, Scripture-based look at your spiritual gifts, talents and the story God is writing in your life.

Develop a style that's unmistakably yours, with mentoring and prayer along the way.
Exhibit, bless your church and community, and encourage the next artist who walks in the door.
After my spinal injury I thought creating was behind me. Now I paint with a mouth stick, and every canvas is a prayer.

The gifts study showed me I have a gift of encouragement. My digital pieces now hang in our church's hospital ministry.

My hands shake, and my teacher said, “Let's use that.” My tremor became my texture. I've never felt so seen.
