“In this work of art, I set out to show how women throughout time—especially mothers—give to others of the goodness they have received from our Heavenly Father. True vessels of God share their physical and spiritual gifts to benefit others, no matter the time or situation. I believe that most mothers are striving to be vessels worthy of God. In receiving and then sharing His light, we can all be vessels of our Heavenly Father.”
