Inspirational Arts was created by James and Yolanda Redd in 1990. At the time it was just an idea but through the leading of our Savior, it has developed
into a ministry that we hope will be one of the great services unto Jesus Christ.
James and Yolanda have been artists since childhood and in 1988 we met and later
married. James’ style is a mixture of realism and mannerism. Mannerism was a
style developed during the 16th century that emphasizes emotion and distortion.
He also has a desire to show African-Americans in a positive light –especially
the African-American man. Yolanda is an abstract artist who arranges vibrant
colors into pleasing compositions. Our styles are different but they come
together through the display of God’s word in every piece of artwork that we
produce.
Some may say that they are artists who happen to be Christians but we are
Christians who happen to be artists unto the Lord.
