Painted live during worship @ Ruach Church, Calgary, AB
His Presence is a representation of the powerful and transformative presence of Jesus within the Church. In this artwork, Jesus’ hand extends from a radiant cloud, symbolizing the cloud of His presence as described in Exodus, when God’s glory filled the tabernacle. The fire within the cloud echoes the biblical imagery of God’s purifying and guiding presence, such as the pillar of cloud and fire that led the Israelites through the wilderness.
Flowing from Him is a crystal-clear river, which signifies the living waters that Jesus offers to cleanse and renew the Church. The living waters of His Spirit. This river also references the river of life described in Revelation 22:1-2, which flows from the throne of God. Along this river, we see leaves, which symbolize the healing of the nations, alluding to Revelation 22:2: “The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.” The flowing river is His Holy Spirit, cleansing and renewing, bringing revival and transformation.
The cathedral window behind Him is an architectural feature representing the light of prophetic words entering the Church, reminiscent of how God’s word illuminates the hearts of His people. The structure evokes a sacred space where divine revelation is received and transformation occurs. However, the painting also carries a deeper message: just as Jesus’ hand invades the church in this image, His presence must invade our spaces and fill every aspect of our worship and lives. The old architecture symbolizes the traditions and man-made structures that, while beautiful, are lifeless without the infilling of His Holy Spirit.
Jesus desires to bring new life to these structures, just as His presence brought life to the tabernacle. The crystal river, flowing and overflowing, speaks of the Holy Spirit’s outpouring that brings renewal, cleansing, and healing. His presence is not limited to a building but is meant to overflow, reaching individuals and churches alike. For we, in the New Covenant, are His temple (1 Corinthians 3:16), and He calls for an awakening in both our churches and individual lives. The traditions of men, the systems we’ve built, and even the ways we approach worship must come alive with His presence and glory, filling and overflowing out of the space, transforming what is man-made into something vibrant and filled with the life of His Spirit.
Jesus is calling for His presence to fill every area—the physical church, the structures we’ve created, and most importantly, the hearts of His people. This is the promise of His Holy Spirit: to fill, to renew, to heal, and to bring life. We are transformed in His presence.

PRINTED TO ORDER - Please allow our local printer to do a fabulous job printing your artwork. Processing time is dependent on the amount of prints on order in production (usually allow around 2 weeks).
Mindi’s fine art canvas prints are reproductions of her original paintings printed on artist-quality canvas. Sizes vary by artwork, from smaller pieces to larger statement sizes. Unless the product option specifically says Stretched Canvas Print, canvas prints are shipped unstretched.
Unstretched canvas prints can be framed, mounted, or professionally stretched by your local framer. Because each artwork has its own proportions, available sizes vary; order from the size and format shown on the individual product page.
Need help choosing a size or format? Contact Mindi Oaten Art or visit the Frequently Asked Questions.
A Stretched Canvas Print is a fine art canvas print stretched over an internal support frame, creating a ready-to-display presentation without first visiting a framer. It can be hung as-is or placed inside a decorative outer frame.
Stretched canvas sizes vary by artwork. If the size you need is not listed, contact the studio to ask whether a custom stretched size is available.
Mindi Oaten Art may be able to create an approved custom fine art canvas print in a size not listed on the product page. Custom print orders are quoted individually based on the artwork, final dimensions, proportions, and finishing requirements.
Custom sizes must respect the proportions of the original painting, and some dimensions may require cropping. The studio will confirm what works visually before the order is finalized.
For a custom print size, contact Mindi Oaten Art. For an entirely new original artwork, visit the Custom Painting & Commission page. You can also review the FAQ.
Original paintings on canvas are one-of-a-kind works created by Mindi. Many are acrylic on canvas; the exact medium and dimensions are listed on each product page. Purchasing an original means purchasing the physical original artwork, not a reproduction.
Display original canvas paintings indoors in a stable environment, away from prolonged direct sunlight, fireplaces, heating vents, bathrooms, and major humidity or temperature changes. Dust gently with a clean, soft, dry cloth or artist’s brush; never use water, sprays, solvents, or household cleaners on the painted surface.
Framing varies by piece. Some paintings can be displayed unframed, while others may suit a floating or traditional frame. Unless the listing says otherwise, framing is not included. Browse available Original Paintings or contact the studio with a framing or care question.
Some original works on paper include watercolour and other paper-based pieces; the exact medium is identified on the product page. For long-term preservation, frame them behind glass or acrylic using archival, acid-free matting and backing, with UV-protective glazing when possible.
Keep paper originals away from direct sunlight and high humidity, and do not let the painted surface touch standard glass directly; use a mat or spacer for separation.
For framing advice, contact Mindi Oaten Art. Additional ordering information is available in the FAQ.
Displaying: keep artwork indoors and away from prolonged direct sunlight, excessive moisture, smoke, and rapid temperature changes.
Handling: use clean, dry hands and hold prints or originals by the edges whenever possible. Support larger pieces evenly with two hands.
Cleaning: use only a soft, dry cloth or clean artist’s brush. Do not apply water, glass cleaner, oils, sprays, or household cleaners directly to printed or painted surfaces.
Framing: archival, acid-free materials and UV-protective glazing are recommended for works on paper and can also help protect fine art prints. Canvas works should be framed or stretched appropriately for the specific piece.
