Good Shepherd
The names of Christ collection is dear to my heart - creating it has helped me grow closer to my Savior and better understand His nature and goodness. I have always found solace in painting and creating art of Jesus Christ, but taking it in this direction has allowed me a broader and richer perspective. I have genuinely loved focusing on specific names, and therefore specific traits and characteristics of Christ as found in the scriptures. He truly embodies all that is virtuous, lovely, and good. The three pieces and their meanings: Teacher, Prince of Peace and The Good Shepherd, particularly resonated with me at this point in my life. I hope to continue to add to this collection and expand and deepen my testimony of the many names of Christ.
1 Nephi 22:25 “And he gathereth his children from the four quarters of the earth; and he numbereth his sheep, and they know him; and there shall be one fold and one shepherd; and he shall feed his sheep, and in him they shall findpasture.”

Ezekiel 34:12 “As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudyand dark day.”
