The story of the painting fits my life story
Close To His Heart
Prophetic Meaning
Through the years of abuse, the childhood memories flooded her mind. Shame was her greatest companion, as the pain of the past crippled her present, making her future seem hopeless. But, though she felt alone...she was not alone. There was One who pursued her with an everlasting love. Her heartaches, became His heartaches, her sorrow...His sorrow. He paid the highest price just to be near to her. He traded His life...to take on her pain, bear her burdens and heal her wounds. The journey would never be easy...the road ahead was long. But the One who held her close was faithful. He saw her through It all. She was once a broken young girl...she was once a young woman of despair...but through it all she was close to His Heart. This is my story and the story of so many others. You are never alone, He sees your every hurt.

We employ the same 12 pigmented inks as our paper prints, and then skillfully stretch the artwork onto 1 1/2" gallery depth bars. This results in a contemporary appearance that is ideal for displaying unframed. Our canvas prints are also made to order in our Tempe, Arizona studio, using high-quality, locally sourced poplar wood for the stretcher bars which are cut and assembled in-house by our own team.
Hand-Embellished Canvas: Each piece is personally hand-embellished by Vanessa Horabuena, making every artwork truly one of a kind. Please allow up to 2 months for completion, as each canvas receives detailed handwork, prayer, and artistic attention.
Printed in-house with 12 archival pigment inks, each canvas is hand-stretched onto premium 1.5" gallery-depth poplar wood bars in our Tempe, Arizona studio. Vanessa enhances the artwork with richly pigmented acrylic paints, textured highlights, and her original hand-applied signature. A professional UV-protective varnish is then applied to preserve the piece for years to come.

I couldn't have asked for anything more beautiful. Every time I look up and see it ,I'm reminded of how close I'm held by the arms of my Savior. And I am truly grateful. Thank you so much.

I really enjoy the pictures
I love her artwork!
I recently purchased my first home. The walls aren't painted yet, but this painting (along with the rest of them I had to have) are hung up. Wow..what a masterpiece this one is! I often feel that I'm that girl in the picture, and every day it reminds me that even when life is impossible...He has me in the palm of His hand and safely secure in His embrace. Thank you Vanessa, this one took my breath away all over again when I received it. Thank you for packaging it so nicely and taking extra care of it
Loved the painting first time I saw it. Been through some rough times and I know he has me close to his heart and this was perfect for me. Love your work and look at it every morning I get ready for work and reminds me that he has me no matter what and I can try to live and not be afraid. Life can be hard, but I will be ok with Jesus by my side ❤️🙏🙏thank you
It is deeply beautiful! My granddaughter was harmed as a child and this is for her. It shows the loving arms of Jesus around her reassuring her she is His. Thank you, your art work and the gift God has given you simply amazes me. All God’s Blessings my friend. Mary
Her artwork and stories that inspired her artwork really speak to me! I can relate so much to her testimony and feel a connection with her through her talent, not even personally knowing her. I have bought multiple pieces so far and I will purchase many more in the future. What a beautiful gift through her paintings that God has belles her with. She truly is from ashes to beauty! God is using her in a mighty way and her artwork is like now other. Absolutely breathtaking! I love you Vanessa❤️ You are an amazing woman of God.
I truly love the painting "Close to His Heart". More beautiful in person. I will place by my bedside so it is close to me every night. Thank you, Angela
I stumbled onto Vanessa by what I would call a God-cidence. My husband had been killed in an accident and I couldn't even get off the bathroom floor. I saw Vanessa's gallery while just going through stuff on my phone and decided that a day in a gallery surrounded by Jesus was what my heart needed. I went to the gallery and I could feel and heal a little by taking in every painting. The girl at the gallery approached me and said that Vanessa was going to be there shortly and paint , it was not planned she had just decided to come in that day, so I decided to stay and watch her amazing talent. As I sat there I was brought to tears as you could feel the Holy spirit in the room. The talent that she has been blessed with and the her driven purpose to use it to Glorify our father brings comfort in a way that only the Holy Spirit can. I purchased close to his heart and I hung it beside my bed for those times that I can't in my own strength get up and I cry out to him and rely on his strength. Also after meeting Vanessa she has a genuine beautiful heart and you can see Jesus in her. Crystal
🙏♥️
I absolutely love them both. They depict the gentleness, and the love of Jesus. I can't wait to buy two more.
This was way more than I expected. It's beautiful and deep. I've been looking at these paintings for awhile, their all so beautiful. This site came up again and as I was going through the pictures, this one particular picture jumped and chose me. I've struggled most of my life, a lot of emotional pain, so when this one came up, I knew this one was for me.
Thank You Vanessa and your ministry my prayer is that it will continue to reproduce healing
GOD is Amazing!! Thank you your work is breathtaking
Just received these 2 prints and absolutely love them. I'm very happy with the quality of the prints and just recently framed them so I can hang in my bedroom. I love the message of these - that if Jesus has his eye on the sparrow, I know he is watching me. And the one titled Close to His Heart is just my reminder that He ALWAYS has my back, even more than I realize. Thank you Vanessa for your extraordinary talent and the messages that you share through your talent. God Bless!
Really speaks to me, gentleness of the Savior.
Vanessa, I just love your passion for Jesus, I was so excited when I received your art work, definitely hang it up next to the cross that was given to me, I also had to share your amazing artwork in my facebook feed. Maybe later I can get at least one one or two more. Again, thank you, you have a beautiful blessing
Purchased for my women’s ministry girls. They all teared up. 🤍 They are beautiful!
Close to His Heart! It reminds me how Close He has me and this painting reminds me to be Praying for others who are broken and hurting. May they too know His Love and Receive Healing and wholeness.
