In my personal experience I have often thought of being a 'lost sheep' as something that happens to 'other people'. I've caught myself mistakenly thinking that every sheep that has ever wandered must have done so deliberately. The reality is that at some point we all lift our heads up in a sea of the unknown and have the surprising realization 'I am lost'. Rather than a neat little flock of disciples, it seems to me that all sheep are constantly becoming lost and on the daily require the Savior’s love to be found again.  Like this sheep, we may be surrounded by tumultuous or bleak surroundings, but we are always touched by a ray of loving light that can guide us home. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist Bio:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNate Hawks is a wildlife artist whose work draws inspiration from his stunning surroundings in Utah and his own personal history as an exhibit designer in zoos, aquariums, and museums working with wildlife.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith a rich background in illustration and design prior to dedicating himself to painting wildlife, Nate has collaborated with an array of incredible clients.
