Welcome to The Faith of Trudy
A collection of art, ideas, recipes, and other interesting things.

I’m pretty much just making this up as I go.
Working to bring ideas to life through relationships and conversation…learning to be a better leader and to live out my faith as a follower of Jesus…making my community a better place for everyone…gathering and sharing life around our table…drawing pretty, whimsical things…collecting ideas and people as I go….and noodling on how to connect the dots so this all fits together.
