Wondern Awe is a small non-profit consisting of Sara A.E. Klein BFA Metals/Jewelry/CAD-CAM Tyler School of Art and A.E. Macha BFA Illustration & Art Ed. Arcadia University.

Our mission is to have a bigger view of God, for the gospel to show up in our everyday moments, and to offer a unique method of worship. We offer creative workshops, personally designed booklets, art supplies and hand made reminders to aid you and your tribe in living with wonder and awe.

They say behind every great photo is a roll of film, so we are thinking this is our roll of film and maybe somewhere here is a good image. We are collectors and created a collection of 'snatches of speech' from things overheard, things read, and things meditated on. Part of our partnership is a conversation back and forth, iron sharpening iron, pushing each other to have a bigger view of God. Over the past year, we have had many conversations around these 10 snatches of speech, and are happy to share our visual interpretation. We chose the square format for our artwork to emulate the fashion scarf design to represent the first conversation that started Wondern Awe. Prints are available for purchase on our website.

Again + Again by A.E. Macha

Throughout the Bible, we God's people, experience His lavish love and great power, and our hearts are warmed to Him. Too quickly, our hearts cool and we turn our lives away from Him. Again and again, he pursues us. Again and again, He makes a way for us. Again and again, He forgives us and draws us to himself. At the end of 100 Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, the General re-makes an intricate goldfish that he made before the war. Fabricated from gold, he labors over the details, and when he finishes, he then melts it down and starts all over again. This parallel of process and refining is a beautiful reminder of the repeating patterns of making and knowing as well as His pursuit and refinement.

As artists, we resonate with this process because these deep grooves in our brains are shaped by what we do, again and again. As psalters, we are reminded that our worship can mirror His pursuit, a repetitious cycle of the sanctification process, resurrection and death, again and again.
