Q&A&Art
Why would I chose to buy art from Wholeheartedarts?
There is lots of art out there that suits many different people. Here at Wholeheartedarts we aim to use art to connect your heart with what is beautiful, good and true. This is why we create and select art that is uplifting and honoring God. We avoid art that is disturbing, dark or self-indulgent. As much as we like the idea of art as self-expression we also exercise wisdom in expressing that which honors us and our Creator. Not everything needs to be said and not everything needs to be painted. In plain words - what you focus on will be magnified and we want to magnify the beauty, goodness and truth.
How can I commission prayerful painting for a special occasion?
We are so glad you asked! Commissions are accepted in limited volume and all you need to do is send us an email at Wholeheartedarts@gmail.com and write COMMISSION in subject. Let us know which type of prayerful painting you would like. At this moment we offer mixed media prayerful flowers, sunrises and sunsets as well as tree landscapes by Agata May’kowska. She works with paint, fabric and paper. If you have a specific idea for the painting you can share your vision with us in email. You can also ask other artist at Wholeheartedarts to incorporate prayer into their art. Now you can also commission a “Prayerful Rose” by adding it to your cart in our Main Galley - limited options available. For more options we encourage you to send us an email.
What are the occasion that we consider worth of a painting?
We would like to celebrate with you all that you consider important. We will join you and pray especially for pregnancy, birth of child, marriage, baptism, birthdays and anniversaries but we also understand that there is time when you need encouragement or prayer through a difficult time. Sometimes celebration comes late and before that we would like to symbolically walk with you through time of trails and pray for you. Let us know how can we serve you? How can we pray for you and if there is a specific scripture that would bring you comfort in this time. The painting will be a testimony and reminder of God’s faithfulness to you and that we love one another.
Do I pay for the prayer?
No. There is no price for prayer or a blessing. We can only put a monetary value on our work as artists and the fellowship with you in prayer is free. The charge will include the value of art ( materials, time and skill, frame if applies and s&h). We will pray for you through the time of creating the painting for you because we feel this is how best we can honor God and grow together in knowing Christ. We want to testify about God’s goodness.
Is wholeheartedarts open to include new artists and their offering in our gallery?
Yes. If you are an artist that is aligned with our values of honoring God and art is in a way your ministry, we would like to hear from you.

Q&A&Books by Wholeheartedarts
What makes children books from Wholeheartedarts worth your consideration?
Here at Wholeheartedarts we believe that what we create and consume should reflect our values. We care that our children are taught the values we were given by our God.
We don’t practice our religion on Sunday only but throughout the whole week we live in our Judeo- Christian worldview and we care that our children will continue in our faith. This is why our books reflect that. We don’t consider all our books religious in kind and we don’t always include verbatim gospel in them but we include lessons that will ultimately help your child to learn truth. I, myself am about to become a grandmother to twins and I write books that I would like my grandchildren to read one day and be better from it not worse. My books are written to be a playful lesson in what is true, good and beautiful and give parents an opportunity to build those values and more.
What age the books are appropriate for?
Only a parent can decide what material your child is old enough for but we think our offering are particularly well received by the youngest until 9 years old. We especially care for young boys to teach them that they are uniquely equipped to be a head of family one day. This is why we aim to cultivate values as leadership, bravery, love, helpfulness, problem solving and family in all our books and our adventures are written with all that in mind and lots of humor too!
Where can I find books by Agata May’kowska?
We are working to find a more appropriate place to publish our books. Right now we are easily available on Amazon, through our website Wholeheartedarts.com where you can purchase a signed copy and other online book stores.
