Artist Statement: Painting Christ has become a spiritual experience for me. In the quiet moments of putting brush to panel, I find myself drawing near to Him. It felt fitting to paint a circular picture of Christ because it gives the effect of completeness and of wholeness. Combining the shape of the painting with a bright sunlit background and the Savior’s outstretched hands, it seems to say, “Return unto Me…that I may heal you” (3 Nephi 9:13).
