A short while back art licensing artist and educator Tara Reed encouraged us artists to make a video of our art licensing story to share on online. Now, I am a little camera shy, but decided to give that web cam a try after a little more prompting from Tara and my art licensing friend Jen Goode. I am also very blessed to have a husband and business partner, Benjamin Hummel who thought the idea of animating my fireflies would be a fun project. He stayed with his vision and directed and edited the whole thing for me. So in short, this fun little video came together and is now LIVE on my YouTube channel for your viewing pleasure.
FrameChangers Media brings Inspirational Art for your digital life! Digital art for your home, office and iPhone/iPod Touch by talented Christian artists. We proudly introduce FrameChanger artists, Cherish Flieder and Benjamin Hummel.
Benjamin and Cherish are a husband and wife artist team who share a common foundation in God’s Word. Their journey together began when they met at a Bible study at art college, over 11 years ago. Since then, the promises in the Bible have brought them through many trials and daily give them a renewed hope in Christ. Together, they have illustrated for an array of children’s books, fine art prints, apparel, greeting cards, and gifts. Cherished Solutions, their design studio, features art styles, Painting for Life™, Been Cherished™ and Something to Cherish®. These collections explore a variety of visual themes with a touch of optimistic realism and playful whimsy. Benjamin and Cherish are excited to share these images digitally with you through FrameChangers.

After falling into the TV and Computer time-trap, creator and founder Jennifer Cybart needed to surround herself with encouraging words from the Bible in a new way! The traditional scripture written on note cards got lost and her kids used her Bible as a coloring book.
Inspired to put God’s Word and digital devices together, Jennifer decided to create FrameChangers as scripture art for your TV, Computer, Digital Picture Frames, iPhone and iPod Touch. There are collections to meet the needs of women, men and kids with verses and art targeted for each individual.
“Seeing God’s Word in an artistic way on digital devices is an emotional and memorable experience,” says Jennifer. She recruited her engineer husband, Adam, to ensure the highest quality product and with the help of graphic designers, web developers, and many supportive friends, FrameChangers became a reality.
As for the name FrameChangers? She credits divine inspiration. God wants to change our frame of mind. (Romans 12:2)
~ Here’s to many renewed minds, one frame at a time.
