Artist & Practice ⭐
Keturah McKitterick is a contemporary symbolic mixed-media artist based near Overbrook, Kansas. Combining painting, Gelli monoprinting, collage, stitching, paper, words, and symbolism, she creates layered, faith-rooted work exploring spiritual identity and the human experience. Her current bodies of work include Daughters of the Most High, Interwoven, and the Living Letters series.
Some daughters bloom loudly. Others quietly tend.
Daughter Who Tends honors the sacred work of faithfully caring for what has been placed in our hands—our gifts, relationships, prayers, and dreams. Dressed in blue and standing among wildflowers, she pours out with gentleness and intention, carrying the reminder that even unseen acts of tending become beautiful gardens in time.
This piece is part of my Daughters of the Most High King series, a collection of symbolic mixed-media works exploring identity, faith, and the quiet ways God forms us.
Artist Statement
I create symbolic mixed-media artwork at the intersection of faith, identity, and storytelling. My work grows from a desire to help women and girls recognize who they are in Christ Jesus—not through simple answers, but through layered visual experiences that invite reflection, remembrance, and discovery.
My process often begins intuitively with texture, gesture, color, or written language. I build the surface through paint, gel-plate monoprints, collage, handwritten Scripture, stitching, thread, and gold leaf. As the layers accumulate, portions are covered, altered, or revealed. This process mirrors the formation of identity: the experiences we carry, the truths we forget, and the ways God restores what has been hidden or misunderstood.
Symbols create a visual language across my work. Crowns and halos speak of belonging and spiritual inheritance. Doors and gates suggest discernment, transition, and invitation. Ancient letterforms connect written language with the living Word of God. The red thread, representing the blood of Jesus, travels through the work as a sign of redemption, connection, and divine purpose.
My ongoing body of work, Daughters of the Most High, gives visual form to different aspects of a daughter’s spiritual identity—courage, stewardship, endurance, stillness, and responsibility. Related bodies of work, including Interwoven and the emerging Living Letters, explore God as Weaver, His Word as thread, and our lives as something continually being formed through grace.
