About this Image:

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. - Matthew 5:16

The example we set may be the only gospel message that some people ever receive. When we think of our example to others in those terms we can see why the Savior associated light with this principle. I hoped to show that even children can be taught that the way they live their lives can be a significant missionary tool. It is quite a challenge to photograph models using candle light but the play of shadows across the forms can be very appealing visually. It is not typical in paintings for the actual light source to be apparent, but I felt that seeing the small flame illuminating the scene might remind us of the Light of Christ filling the universe with His influence.

About the Artist:

Simon has quietly sought to celebrate the life and mission of Jesus Christ. His artistic journey began in London, England as a freelance illustrator. In 1997 he entered the world of fine art with the release of "He Lives". Since then, Simon has become known for his exquisitely detailed and delicate portraits capturing moments from the tender to the magnificent. Many marvel at the masterful way he portrays the love and compassion in the face of the Savior and the devotion in the eyes of the believers. Simon lives in Alberta, Canada where he continues to explore new perspectives to inspire and bear witness of eternal principles.
