Description
“As with all of my temple works of art,” comments the artist, “I include, in addition to the temple, appropriate hidden spiritual images within each drawing. With The Brigham City Utah Temple, my goal was to include an image that would encourage members to have a current temple recommend and to visit the temple as often as occasion permits. Among the leaves above the temple, I rendered an image of the Savior in the motion of inviting us to receive the blessings found in temple service.
Chad Hawkins began creating a series of temple prints in 1989, at the age of seventeen, to support his two-year mission in the Germany Frankfurt Mission. After graduating from Weber State University with a bachelor of fine arts degree, he pursued an art career that has taken him to six continents and over 100 temple locations. He has sold over a million works of art and written and illustrated seven publications. He enjoys outdoor recreation, including cycling and running. His favorite place to be is anywhere with his wife and family.
