It is I; Be Not Afraid
Matthew 14:22-27
This bronze sculpture depicts Jesus confidently stepping across the water, with the sea swirling around Him. On Jesus’ face, you can see His focus on the destination and His desire to reach out to the disciples in need.
I Give You Living Water
John 4:4-42
This sculpture portrays Jesus holding a cup of water, symbolizing His offer of the gospel to the woman at the well. In this artwork, the personal interaction between Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well expresses His loving and understanding relationship with each of us. As we deepen our understanding of Him and seek Him wholeheartedly, this relationship grows stronger.
Be Thou Clean
Matthew 8:1-4
The desire to stay clean permeates each of us, and it is a desire we should carry throughout our lives, encapsulated in the story of “Be Thou Clean.” From the leper’s rough skin and tattered bandages to Jesus’ sincere expression, this bronze sculpture portrays the power of faith in the Savior. The leper’s faith compelled him to implore Jesus for healing, and without hesitation, Jesus touched the leper, cleansing him of his disease. He cleanses all who come to Him in the same way.
Master, Say On
Luke 7:36-50
In a moment of profound humility, a woman enters the house of the Pharisee Simon to greet Jesus and anoint His feet. Despite Simon’s resentment toward the woman for her sins, he becomes willing to listen to Jesus when reminded that He has come to save all of God’s children. In this sculpture, we see tears on the woman’s cheeks as Christ openly forgives her. Her emotions resonate within us as we seek the Savior’s forgiveness for our own sins.
Someone Hath Touched Me
Luke 8:43-48
The bronze sculpture captures the moment when Jesus, walking alongside his disciples, feels virtue transfer from him to another person. Behind him, a woman suffering from a hemorrhage reaches out and looks up at him. Her simple faith in the Savior brings healing and hope to this woman who has endured years of suffering, demonstrating to us that even taking a small action can invite God’s miracles into our lives.
Oh My Father
Matthew 14:23
Throughout the Bible, Jesus often sought solitary moments to pray to His Heavenly Father, seeking to align His will with that of the Father in all things. The sculpture of Jesus standing alone, perfectly still, with His face upturned and His garments billowing around Him, symbolizes these sacred moments of communion with God. The love between the Father and the Son reflects the relationship each of us can have with our Heavenly Father.
One Thing Is Needful
Luke 10:38-42
The bronze sculpture portrays Mary, completely absorbed, gazing at the face of Jesus. She holds scriptures in her hands, eagerly awaiting His teachings. As Martha approaches seeking Mary’s help, Christ gently reminds her of the “one thing needful.” His reminder echoes to us today, encouraging us to seek Him and His gospel above all else.
His Gathering
Matthew 23:37
Jesus has gathered God’s children since the beginning of creation. The bronze sculpture titled “His Gathering” depicts Jesus kneeling beside a hen and her chicks, symbolizing people gathering around Him and receiving His protection and love. The chicks huddle close under the mother hen’s wings nearby, illustrating how His love for us is intimate and nurturing.
Let He That Is Without Sin
John 8:1-11
Throughout Jesus’ ministry, the Jewish leaders repeatedly attempted to discredit Him. One of the most memorable instances is when they brought to Him a woman caught in adultery, seeking to accuse her. However, Jesus, in His wisdom and mercy, remained silent and instead reminded them of their own sins.
Lazarus, Come Forth
John 11:1-44
The bronze religious sculpture titled “Lazarus, Come Forth” invites us to view this event from the perspective of Lazarus looking up at Jesus and from the viewpoint of bystanders peering down at the tomb. Overcoming death—seemingly impossible—Jesus brings Lazarus back to life, foreshadowing His own impending resurrection.
Gethsemane
Luke 22:39-53
The bronze sculpture titled “Gethsemane” offers us a close-up view of the agonizing suffering endured by Jesus. As the weight of our lives presses upon His brow, His veins protrude with pain. Jesus earnestly prays to His Heavenly Father, faithfully seeking strength from above. Though Jesus’ suffering is difficult to witness, we are invited to contemplate the depth of what He was willing to endure for us.
Because Of Love
Mark 15 and John 12:23-50
Jesus carries the cross on His shoulders, His gaze fixed determinedly upon the ground. Despite the mocking crown of thorns upon His head, He shows no signs of shame or regret. His entire body is visibly tense from the weight He bears, yet He continues onward. At the moment of His death, this sculpture serves as a reminder of why Jesus chose to endure such immense suffering—because of His love for each one of us.
Mary
John 20:11-18
In a moment of victory, Jesus chooses to reveal Himself to Mary. Like His other disciples, she was deeply saddened by His death. But at her most fearful and sorrowful moment, when she discovers the missing body of Jesus, He appears before her, validating her faith and demonstrating His victory over death.
Reach In Faith
John 20: 24-31
This sculpture depicts Thomas approaching Jesus, who stands with open arms. Jesus shows Thomas the wounds on His hands and feet, as well as the pierced side left by the Roman soldiers. Jesus invites Thomas to come near and gently encourages him to believe not by sight but by faith. When we struggle to believe, He extends this invitation to us as well.
This Is My Beloved Son
Joseph Smith History 1:17
The bronze sculpture “This is My Beloved Son” brings to life the moment when God chose to appear to a young boy in a sacred grove. It’s as if you are stepping into this experience with Joseph Smith. Joseph beholds his Heavenly Father and Savior, reverently kneeling in awe. Jesus and the Father stand above, smiling down at Joseph, and every inch of the bronze sculpture captures the power of that moment.
