Ann Post is a Christian minister, artist, author, nature photographer, and storm chaser. Her original intent was to have two websites, one for her ministries and a separate one for her artwork. However, as a result of reactions to her art by several of her students who were
survivors of severe abuse, she realized the healing power of her testimony revealed by the artwork itself.

As a Christian minister, Ann’s spiritual leadership encompasses several functions. As a Bible instructor she teaches the mysteries that are encoded in the word of God, which are often referred to in the scriptures as the meat of the word. She has published several books on these mysteries, which are illustrated by her lightning and nature photographs. Her ministry, Healing for Your Heart, is for victims of abuse, with a focus on forgiveness, healing from the emotional wounds that such abuse causes, and overcoming such trauma. She is also part of another ministry that engages in spiritual warfare. Those attending her ministries are discipled, with the aim of developing a higher level of spiritual maturity, growing closer to God, and stepping into their God given callings.

Students who had read Ann’s book, “Child of Sorrow, Child of Joy,” her story of healing from childhood trauma and SRA (Satanic Ritualistic Abuse), now saw the undeniable and mesmerizing connections between her personal journey and hauntingly beautiful elements of her artwork: dramatic light and darkness in her paintings, horses (a frequent theme), in a heightened state of alert, spooking at storms, pieces that pull your spirit into whirlwinds of
energy, feeling at once held captive and set free simultaneously. Ann, herself, embodies a fascinating contradiction, as upon meeting her and hearing she is an artist, one may have visions of this calm, kind, and gentle woman painting little serene landscapes of flowers and rolling green hills–maybe even a Cheshire cat sitting in a window. One is not prepared for the intensity of emotions, the tensions between light and darkness, and the striking, powerful horses exhibiting the raw energy of nature that appear in her work. There is something in her pieces that beckons to anyone who has had to fight for their freedom, who has experienced both the light and dark within their own souls. Ann’s pieces are each unique invocations to our souls to be free, to dance in the light after being restrained by the forces of darkness. They are powerful testaments to the ability of light to heal and liberate, regardless of the bondage we have suffered.
