Paintings that appeal to your soul
of a heartbreaking period when Hephzibah, whose given name is Tiffany Blake, lost her cousin in 2017.
“He passed away two years ago, and he was a lover of everything art, especially paintings, so I dedicated a painting in honour of his name,” she said. “When it was complete, even I was shocked, so that is where my pursuit as a painter started.”
As a painter, her plan is to make her art a big business venture. She does mainly portraits, which cost between US$600 and $1,800 based on the size.
She said: “It is therapeutic, meaning it calms me, from the start to finish. Nothing compares to the feeling I get when I see the end result. It’s disbelief that I have that skill – another gift from the Most High and a relief at the same time.
“Have you ever looked at something and felt it directly at your soul? That is exactly where I want the images to appeal to, and also for persons to formulate their own story from them. That is the same way I want my music to hit.”
She emphasised that she has not abandoned her musical talents. Hephzibah is working on her solo debut single titled Are You Ready. For now, you can find the gospel singer at
Acts of the Holy Spirit Ministries International singing with the praise-and-worship team.
