Love is patient, love is kind. One of the most familiar passages in scripture, often remembered but not easily lived. I wrote the verse on canvas after a difficult day, and it immediately became a personal anchor.
The frame is constructed from reclaimed Houston Independent School District tables, still marked with graffiti, tagging, and “set reppin,” adding a layer of tension and irony to the message.
Installed in a rec room designed for teens, the piece sits at the intersection of truth and reality—where aspiration meets lived experience.
Art as a Service — A Gift to Community and Faith
“Art as a Service” is the offering of creative work as an act of stewardship, given not for transaction, but for impact. Through this initiative, I created and donated a series of large-scale paintings, 21 works in total, to support the mission of PX Project, housed within the newly developed space at St. Luke’s UMC Gethsemane. The Garden.
Designed as an urban refuge for teens, the building serves as a place of restoration, connection, and growth. Joubert’s work was installed throughout the space, transforming empty walls into environments of presence, depth, and quiet reflection.
In addition to the paintings, I contributed custom-fabricated metal tables for the outdoor patio and installed artwork within the café and entryway, integrating art into the daily rhythm of the space. This body of work was created as an offering.
An extension of faith expressed through material, process, and environment.
Each piece contributes to a larger purpose: to create a space that feels intentional, grounded, and welcoming to those who enter. In this context, art becomes more than visual, it becomes service. A way to give, to build, and to quietly support the lives being shaped within these walls.
