Event Details
Join visual artist Katie Troyer for “Come, Holy Spirit,” a powerful new series of acrylic paintings inspired by biblical accounts and personal encounters with the presence of the Holy Spirit. Through vivid color, movement, and light, Troyer explores the imagery of flame as a symbol of divine power, renewal, and transformation.
Rooted in the story of Pentecost and other scriptural moments where the Spirit is revealed in fire, this collection began with a simple but profound reflection: What if every person is like an ember? What might happen if we intentionally fanned into flame the gift of the Holy Spirit within each one of us?
Visitors are invited not only to enjoy the art, but also to pause, reflect on their own experiences with the Holy Spirit, and spend time in prayer. “Come, Holy Spirit” creates space for contemplation, renewal, and awakening.
The collection will be on display March 4 – March 27, 2026. All are welcome to experience this inspiring series and to consider how the Spirit might be stirring within their own lives.
Artist Bio
Katie Troyer is an abstract visual artist in Greenwich, Connecticut. She primarily works with high-quality watercolor or acrylics on board or canvas. Her works are for sale and she also is available for commissions.
"For me, painting is an act of watching color come alive, of witnessing how pigment moves, responds, and finds its own place on the canvas. I am constantly captivated by the way paint interacts with surface and space, shifting from intention to surprise, from control to surrender. Each brushstroke is both a choice and a discovery."
Katie says…
“My most recent series is inspired by the presence of the Holy Spirit and the radiant truth that Jesus is the Light of the World. These works explore illumination, movement, and the quiet power of spiritual encounter. Through layers of color, texture, and flowing forms, I seek to express what cannot be held in words, the warmth of divine light, the breath of the Spirit, and the sense of being guided, comforted, and transformed.
I hope these paintings create a space for reflection, peace, and revelation. Ultimately, my work is an invitation to pause, to look deeper, and to experience the beauty of a light that never fades.”
Katie is also a musician, worship leader, and spiritual director. She lives in Greenwich, Connecticut with her husband Scott.
