With Christmas just around the corner I thought I would share with you some contemporary Christian artists (or art with Christian imagery). Some of these artists are well known names you may recognize and others are up and coming. They are all exceptional and well worth exploring further. Click on the artwork to learn more about the artist and their art. I'll be back with a post the first Friday in January. Have a very merry Christmas and may God bless you and your family this new year.

Quotes
Thomas Kinkade
“My mission as an artist is to create glimpses of a world that is tranquil, peaceful and full of the beauty of God's creation. That's what I mean when I talk about sharing the light.”
“Balance, peace, and joy are the fruit of a successful life. It starts with recognizing your talents and finding ways to serve others by using them.”
