About the Book:Paintings accompany poems about the life of Jesus, the gospel message, and Christian life by William Cowper, George Herbert, Christina Rossetti, and other poets. Full color art by renowned artist Greg Olsen. About the Author:Greg K. Olsen is a prolific and diverse artist, but is most famous for his depictions of Jesus Christ. He is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Members of the Church gravitated to his work that appeared in the Ensign magazine and Deseret Book, catapulting him and his work into widespread demand. He has since published calendars, tabletop books, and other products in addition to his originals and prints. Olsen was born in Idaho Falls, Idaho, in 1958, and raised in the nearby farming community of Iona. He recalls that his parents, Gordon and Janel Olsen, were supportive of his artistic interest and talent. “Greg remembers a time as a teenager when he had been hired to paint a large sign for a local grocery store. It was wintertime and too cold to paint in the garage so his parents let him set up a workshop in his bedroom. He promptly spilled two quarts of black and orange enamel paint all over his bedroom carpet. Amazingly, his parents still encouraged him in his artistic endeavors. During his teen years at Bonneville High School, he studied under art teacher Bob Whitney, who “contributed more to Greg’s art education and desire to make it his life’s work than any other person.” He then studied art at Utah State University. After college, he was hired as an in-house illustrator in Salt Lake City, where he worked on a variety of projects, from murals and dioramas to simple paste-up. Two years later, he followed a friend's advice and began painting full-time. Sales from his first show only just covered the cost of refreshments and invitations, but yielded the first of many commissions that were to come. Some Book Reviews:5/5 stars - BEAUTIFULLY ILLUSTRATED BY GREG OLSEN, LOVE HIS INSPIRATIONAL ARTWORKThe book is beautiful, no mistake. Full of color and life and glory of Jesus, every page has a poem by various poets and below are inspiring comments by Greg Olsen, full of grace and insight.I only wish that there were more illustrations from Greg's collection. The artwork alone is inspirational and powerful, even without the poetry. I just happen to love his work so much, I wanted to see more, more, on the pages! it is worth every penny for my library of Christ centered books.--Reviewer 5/5 stars Expressions of FaithI ordered several copies of this book - one for myself and a copy for each of our grown children. The artist happens to be my neighbor and the book happened to include poems by my 5th Great Grandmother Anne Bradstreet. The illustrations are superb, the poem selections wonderful. It was a wonderful experience to share this book with our children.--Karen C. Baird Copyright © 2018-2024 TDM Inc. The photos and text in this listing are copyrighted.
