Bible Cluster featuring Kristy Ottinger | June

We’re honored to welcome Kristy Moeller Ottinger as the featured artist for this month’s Engage Art Bible Cluster.

Kristy is a narrative quilt artist whose work grows out of prayer, storytelling, and a deep life of making. Raised in a family of makers, with a cabinetmaker father and a dressmaker mother, she learned early to create with her hands and has carried that spirit with her ever since. Today, she is best known for richly layered art quilts that bring together found objects, mixed media, embroidery, paint, and writing in ways that feel both visually intricate and spiritually alive.

For Kristy, making art is an act of worship. She describes each bead, stitch, and attached object as part of an ongoing prayer, a spiritual conversation that unfolds as the work develops. That perspective shapes the depth and texture of her practice and makes her work especially meaningful to encounter in community.

Facilitated by Ranika Chaney, this gathering will be a meaningful evening of Scripture, creativity, and community as Kristy shares her 2026 Engage Art Contest Honorable Mention work, “Elijah and the Ravens,” and reflects on the story, symbolism, and process behind it.
