I’ve got a new exhibition coming soon! It opens next Friday, February 3, at Writ & Vision in Provo, and runs through Saturday, February 25. The show will feature the twelve illustrations at the head of each chapter of In the Image of Our Heavenly Parents: A Couple’s Guide to Creating a More Divine Marriage (edited by McArthur Krishna and Bethany Brady Spalding).

It’s not up yet on the Writ & Vision gallery page but will be soon.

New artwork: I Give unto you Power. This takes the idea from Principles and Ordinances II and By the Laying on of Hands II and applies it to Christ ordaining Nephi. Also similar to Father’s Blessing.

Scripture prints

Another new project. I wanted to do something with the words of the scriptures and came up with this style, where it’s intended to be more decorative/evocative (so legibility isn’t at the top of the priority list). It’s also a fun way to play with textures in ways that I don’t always get to with my other art.

Two new pieces:

Together Forever II. This one came out of losing my father. (That said, it isn’t actually a depiction of my own family — my parents were divorced and I have more siblings than this.)

Red circle-and-triangle figures arranged in a family portrait. The father is all white.

Abide with Me II. This has felt applicable to me a decent number of times these past few months.

A white circle-and-triangle figure next to a blue circle-and-triangle figure.
