Michelle Paine came from Presbyterian roots, and went on to pursue a degree in the visual arts at Gordon College. While studying abroad, she immersed herself in the history of Christian art, and began to meet Catholics, who helped her to better understand not only her identity as an artist, but also as a Christian.

Michelle shares with JonMarc Grodi how her work as a painter has helped her grow in her relationship with Christ, and how the intersection of truth, beauty, and goodness helps draw the heart to God.

The Coming Home Network was established to help inquiring clergy and laity of various faiths -- or even no faith at all -- with fellowship, resources, and encouragement as they explore the possibility of becoming Catholic.
