The Story Behind the Work
Shop Only Believe as a fine art canvas print or ready-to-hang stretched canvas. Each piece is printed to order by Mindi Oaten Art.
In Only Believe, Mindi Oaten draws from Mark 5 and the tender moment Jesus speaks hope into Jairus' fear before raising his daughter.
"While he was still speaking, there came from the ruler's house some who said, “Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the Teacher any further?” But overhearing what they said, Jesus said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not fear, only believe.” Mark 5:35-36 "And when he had entered, he said to them, “Why are you making a commotion and weeping? The child is not dead but sleeping.” Mark 5:39
In the tender stillness of this image, we witness a moment that transcends time—where hope confronts the finality of death. Jesus, with a gentle yet assured presence, stands by the side of Jairus' daughter, embodying the intersection of human frailty and divine power. The air is suspended in a divine pause, the very breath before life is summoned back into the young girl's body. His hand, outstretched with divine purpose, is not just a gesture but a conduit of life's return. There, in that quiet room, He utters a phrase that is both a command and an assurance: “Talitha koum!” (Mark 5:41, NIV), “Little girl, I say to you, get up!” In the scripture, just before this powerful moment, He speaks to the trembling heart of Jairus, cutting through the noise of grief and disbelief with a command that is both gentle and firm: “Don’t be afraid; only believe” (Mark 5:36).
These words, "only believe," are a poignant echo in the stillness, an instruction that carries weight beyond the confines of the scene. The very essence of faith is encapsulated in this whisper of Christ, a reminder that in the realm where He presides, nothing is beyond restoration. The butterfly, a symbol of transformation, poised above her, mirrors the hope of new life found in Christ.
This is a scene of divine reassurance that faith fixes our eyes on Jesus when the impossible stands before us. For in the economy of faith, belief is not a currency that purchases a miracle, but trust placed in the One who alone holds the power of life and resurrection. It is a testament that in our lives, even when situations seem beyond revival, there is an invitation to believe—not in a formula or guaranteed outcome, but in Christ Himself. It is a call to each of us to hold fast to faith, to trust Him, and to rest in the resurrection hope found in His presence.

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.

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.
