“In my painting I invite you to travel through the streets of Jerusalem and follow the life and ministry of the Good Shepherd. Our faith as Latter-day Saints is built upon the cornerstone and head of our religion, Jesus Christ. In the painting, you will find scenes of the Savior’s life, along with the parables He told. A lamb can be found next to Him in each vignette. It is through the Atonement that we are brought back into the fold. Our heritage of faith is in the lives we live as we follow the teachings of the Good Shepherd.”
