I’ve always found peace in creating — whether with chalk, brush, or pastel. Abide Heart Art is a peaceful branch of Abide Heart Collective, where that peace meets purpose — rooted in New Orleans, grounded in faith, and sketched with joy.
Abide Heart Art is devoted to creating and sharing original artwork that reflects the beauty of presence, peace, and place — offering a gentle, faith-rooted visual rhythm that calms the mind and invites the soul to breathe.
“Art that invites stillness, beauty, and presence.”
Watercolor, acrylic, and chalk pieces by Laura Hernandez
I’ve always found peace in creating — whether with a brush, chalk, palette knife, or pen.
Through Abide Heart Art, I share that same peace — expressed not only in paintings, but in the stories I write and illustrate for children.
Each piece is rooted in New Orleans, grounded in faith, and created with purpose — to bring beauty, stillness, and hope into the everyday.
Abide Heart Art is a place where I share that peace with you — rooted in New Orleans, grounded in faith, and painted with purpose.Each piece in this collection was created from a moment of stillness — porchlight reflections, quiet walks, soft prayers. My hope is that as you view them, you’ll find a bit of peace too.
