JOURNEY BY FAITH
About ChanMi's Art Journey
Born in Seoul, South Korea, and now based in the Philadelphia area, ChanMi Jung Pyles is a contemporary contemplative abstract artist whose work explores the intersection of faith, Scripture, and the human journey with God. Grounded in the promise of Revelation 21:5—“I am making everything new”—her art journey is rooted in the belief that God is continually at work, bringing renewal, hope, and beauty even in the midst of uncertainty and brokenness. Through intuitive layers of acrylic, texture, movement, and genuine gold leaf, ChanMi creates visual invitations to pause, reflect, and encounter God’s presence in every season of life. In Journey by Faith, she invites viewers to consider their own journeys with God, trusting that the One who makes all things new is also at work in each of our stories.
JOURNEY BY FAITH SOLO EXHIBITION
IN PARTNERSHIP WITH
SCRIPTURE UNION-USA
Through contemporary abstract paintings and poetry inspired by Scripture, Journey By Faith explores trusting God through seasons of dreaming, waiting, persevering, and becoming. More than an art exhibition, it is an interactive journey—inviting visitors to move through the exhibition as fellow travelers, engaging with art, reflection, and Scripture while encountering the God who faithfully leads his people by faith.
Presented in partnership with Scripture Union-USA, Journey By Faith also supports Scripture Union's ministry. Twenty percent of artwork sales from the exhibition will support the ministry of Scripture Union-USA.

Courageous Faith —
Silent Auction
2026, Acrylic with genuine gold leaf on canvas, 36 × 48 × 1.5 in.
Courageous Faith honors the women who faithfully followed Jesus—those who supported His ministry, remained present through His death and burial, and became among the first witnesses to His resurrection. Their faith was courageous because they continued to love and follow even when they could not see what lay ahead.
Inspired by these women and by the call to persevere in Hebrews 11–13, this artwork invites us to consider what it means to walk by faith, keep our eyes on Jesus, and continue the journey with courage.
Created especially for Journey By Faith, Courageous Faith is offered through a silent auction, with 100% of the proceeds benefiting Scripture Union USA. Your participation helps support Scripture Union’s work of helping people encounter God through His Word and grow in faith.
Every bid becomes part of the journey.
About The Painting...
I Am With You Always
From Movement 6: Remaining & Journeying by Faith
Journey By Faith Exhibition by ChanMi Jung Pyles
Jesus’ final words in Matthew’s Gospel carry both a promise and a calling: “I am with you always.” The journey continues beyond the resurrection because Christ’s presence continues with His people.
I Am With You Always reflects the abiding presence of Jesus through every season still to come. We journey, serve, love, and step into the unknown with the assurance that we do not go alone. His presence is not limited to one place or one moment—it accompanies us always.
This painting is gifted to Scripture Union USA as a symbol of partnership and shared commitment to helping people encounter God through His Word and live out a life of faith. Just as Journey By Faith is a journey of trusting, praying, returning, walking, pressing on, and remaining, this gift represents the journey we continue together—trusting that Christ is with us, and that He is still making all things new.
