Carpentree’s wall art meets young mother’s need

An inspirational message on wall art from Carpentree has taken on an extra meaning for staff at the Tulsa-based gift supplier.

The company’s What Illness Cannot Do framed art offers practical help to stricken young mom Stephanie Barnes, for a portion of the proceeds from sales of the burnished copper-bronze piece goes to help meet the needs of the 33-year-old and her family. The art comes in floral and lion designs.

The daughter-in-law of longtime Carpentree employee Carrie Barnes, Stephanie has suffered serious illness, including a series of strokes and paralysis. In the midst of her illness, she gave birth prematurely to her son, Noah, joining siblings Caleb and Emma.

The 7-by-13-inch framed art, retailing for $35, features Rom. 8:38-39 line by line interspersed with an inspirational message that begins with the words: “Illness is so limited.”

Barnes, Stephanie’s mother-in-law, has been with Carpentree more than 20 years. Now working on special projects, “she has been a prayer warrior for Carpentree, conducted on-site Bible studies and has been a spiritual mentor and friend,” said Sherry Morris, marketing manager at Carpentree.
