Interview - Liza Proch

Liza Proch, an artist from Texas, graciously gave her time to tell us more about her art, faith, & family. 

What got you started in art? 

I’ve loved art ever since I was little!  My dad is an amazing artist, so being able to learn from him has been a huge gift. I’ve always loved experimenting with new techniques of painting, drawing, and lettering.

Who inspires you to keep going through with your dreams on the tough days? 

My parents and siblings are the best cheerleaders. It’s so neat to be able to encourage each other in our creative pursuits, and inspire each other to push through the hard times!

You're known for your art, but recently got started with "Willow City." Can you tell us more about it? 

Several years ago my three brothers and I realized we loved playing music together, and wanted to share that love with the world. We started Willow City, a pop-folk band, and have loved getting to tour around the U.S. sharing songs and the stories behind them!


What are 3 random facts that people probably don't know about you? 

I’m terrified of armadillos (An armored-rodent type animal that plagues Texas. Haha)
I’ve always been really interested in going to Uganda. 
I’ve always wanted a baby deer as a pet.

What do you want people to go away with after reading/hearing your content?

Inspiration. Each of us has unique qualities, and I think it’s so easy to get off track by comparing ourselves to others. I want to inspire others to use their gifts to glorify our Creator.
What's your favorite Bible verse & why?
Matthew 11:28-30: these verse are amazing! Such an incredible reminder from Jesus that, although life won’t always be easy, He promises to walk with us, teach us, guide us, carry us. And that’s with every moment of up-hill climbing!

Favorite color? 

Blush!

Favorite restaurant? 

Torchy’s Tacos!

A special thanks to Liza for her time & energy put into these questions!

Learning To Embrace The Crazy

Have you ever had a bad day? Not just any bad day, but the kind that could be turned into a movie?  It might have gone something like this: after waking up late because your alarm didn’t go off, you didn’t have time to eat breakfast. So, you make your favorite quick breakfast drink. On your way to work you spilled your drink while checking your email & walking down the hallway.  Then, you have a meeting but didn’t have time to go home & change. So, while attending the meeting you try to send a quick text to someone to bring you a change of clothes fast, because you need to present at another meeting. But your friend can’t help ya out. So, you head to the ladies room to clean up.  As you try to clean up, you end up getting little bits of paper towel all over yourself & it looks much worse. That’s not all, though. You decide that since your outfit is at it’s worst, you could at least freshen up your makeup. As you get the makeup from your purse, the unthinkable ...

Flourish

 “Flourish: To grow or develop in a healthy or vigorous way, especially as the result of a particularly favorable environment.” There are a lot of observations I could take away from that definition. What stood out to me reading it today was that flourishing is the result of a favorable environment.  We all are affected by our environment negatively & positively, even when we might not realize it. Some of the factors are out of our control. Others, we choose.  We can choose to have a friend group that either tells us the hard truth even when it’s painful to hear, or pick ones who tells us we’re “all good” when the opposite is true.  We have the ability to choose if our lives will flourish based upon what we bring into our inner circle.  How will you be intentional about flourishing?
