Linda Pierce has nearly thirty years of experience in the art field.  As a regional award-winning artist, she exhibits an ability to capture both people and nature. Her architecture portrays a nostalgic aura and her landscapes impart an invitation to rest.  Linda offers both group and private lessons in a variety of art media, and offers consultation.  She produces murals on canvas as well as on walls.  Her illustration experience is explained below.  

  A life-long interest in art has developed into a full-time career as an inspired free-lance artist.  Linda credits the Lord as her instructor, having no formal training apart from an occasional workshop and reading.  Her work is on display in four Hopkinsville, KY locations.  See the link to our "Resources"  at the bottom of this page to find gallery information.

Linda has had opportunity to expand into publications. While homeschooling a number of children during the ‘90s, she authored an interactive workbook, KY Basics, available as curriculum for grades 4-7.  She has also co-authored The Family Guide to the Biblical Holidays with Robin Sampson.  This work is the largest, most comprehensive resource on Biblical feasts, and includes activities for children of all ages.  See “Books” on our menu, or visit Heart of Wisdom on the "Resources" page below for more info. 

She has past work experience for seven years as a graphic artist, and four as a professional photographer and newspaper editor.   Linda graduated in 1968 from Georgetown College (KY) with majors in biology and home economics. The artist is mother to five adult children and the proud grandmother of nine.

                                ABOUT THE MINISTRY

Chalice is a 501(c)(3) non-profit ministry.  To make tax-deductible contributions, see information at the bottom of this section.  Chalice joins a growing number of ministries that seek to bring a spiritual renewal to the fine arts.  Worship art, dance, banners,  drama, and other creative expression all join with music in declaring the presence of the kingdom of God.

Linda's  art ministry began as a pastel chalk talk artist at the age of 15.  Over 35 years later in 2000, The Lord asked her not to prepare but to wait on Him for the vision of what to paint.  Since she began doing these inspired spontaneous paintings, often completed during worship time, she has created over 500 to date. 

Chalice travels to give the word of the Lord in pictures and message in a variety of venues.  We have ministered in various conferences, special women’s-day focuses, revivals, a Girl Scout Sunday, Aglow meetings, prayer vigils, unity meetings between several churches, pastor appreciation days, anniversaries, worship celebrations, and other special events.    Since the pictures drawn for these occasions are orchestrated by the Holy Spirit, they often reflect the “DNA” of the church or sponsoring group.  [Should there be no vision given, Chalice will still minister in prayer and word as the Lord directs.]  The interpretation for the pictures is given at an appropriate time or, if requested, an entire message may be delivered by one of the team members.  

Chalice is also available for exhibits using the worship pictures and/or other paintings in any secular setting as well as in church-related opportunities.  Paintings on a particular theme may be requested; we will bring a quantity of illustrations to suit the occasion.  Most worship picture originals are approximately 2’ x 3’ and are presented with rigid cardboard backing in a clear cellophane package.  These require gallery clips or a shelf for presentation.  The display will have a running “story line” to support the theme and to accompany each art piece.  Pieces are for sale or smaller prints may be ordered.  

Chalice ministry team includes artist Linda Pierce and Ann Anderson who ministers alongside Linda in prayer, interpretation, and administrative matters.
