Sills Studio

If you are going to be near Fort Smith, AR between now and October, stop by the Regional Art Museum and see my piece “Serving Together” (acrylic on the back of a church pew). I would love to know what you think of it!

The original canvas painting of my first Leachville mural is in this month’s Jonesboro Occasions to help celebrate America’s 250th birthday!

Local friends, if you haven’t been to the Hometown Mercantile Market in Manila, you should go today!

What inspires you? Around two years ago I started saving pictures and video of inspiration and moving images of my church family—mission trip moments, meaningful snapshots, quiet times that might not be noticed. I asked a few family and friends to share specific pictures that I had seen. I won’t end up painting them all but several of these have led to the new series that I am working on now: Reflections of Christ in my church family.

I had a few framed prints left from the Delta Arts Festival so I thought I’d share them here. These are 8x10 reprints in an 11x14 frame with mat for $40. I also have a few of the same ones unframed for $25. Let me know if you would like one. I can mail if you want to add shipping costs.

I hope you will come find me at Delta Arts Festival June 5th and 6th in Newport, AR! This is one of my favorite art fairs of the year—so many amazing artists, great food, and fun music!

🎨🤍 Artist Feature: Sara Sills

We’re honored to welcome Sara Sills, an artist who paints with depth, intention, and a whole lot of heart. Sara specializes in heavily textured acrylic paintings on both canvas and found objects, building up rich layers that you can see and feel. Her work doesn’t just sit on the surface — it rises, shifts, and invites you to lean in.

By incorporating found objects, Sara gives discarded materials a second life, weaving them into the stories behind her art. Every piece becomes a blend of texture, memory, and meaning, creating a tactile experience that connects viewers to the visual image and the inspiration beneath it.

Sara’s work is rooted in connection — to Jesus, to loved ones, to memories, to community. Her art whispers what so many people long to hear: “You are seen. You are valued. You are loved.”

Festival goers will be drawn to the dimension, the storytelling, and the quiet encouragement woven into every piece she creates.

Come meet Sara Sills at the Delta Arts Festival, June 5–6 in Downtown Newport — where art speaks, heals, and brings people together.
