2019 24 x 36 inches Mixed Media on Panel Quest for Zion Series: Painting VI "That thy glory may rest down upon thy people, and upon this thy house, which we now dedicate to thee, that it may be sanctified and consecrated to be holy, and that thy holy presence may be continually in this house; And that all people who shall enter upon the threshold of the Lord’s house may feel thy power, and feel constrained to acknowledge that thou hast sanctified it, and that it is thy house, a place of thy holiness." D&C 109:12-13 This painting represents the arrival of the saints in the Salt Lake Valley. What a relief it must have been to come to the end of the journey, but how exciting as well to start to envision what the Salt Lake Valley would eventually become! Brigham Young in the left panel looks to the center panel as if seeing the building of the Salt Lake Temple. Rays of light stream down from above representing light and love from heaven as the saints would eventually undertake the task of designing and buildling the house of the Lord. The panel on the right represents the completed temple and invites the viewer to step inside to experience the house of the Lord.
