SKU: 1430295 In the World Not of the World
Description
Like Jesus in this painting our life's journey sometimes leads on paths that are shadowed and strewn with rocky obstacles. It's easy to stumble and as a result we find ourselves constantly looking down in order to negotiate the troublesome terrain. This however need not prevent our thoughts and awareness from being centered elsewhere. Like birds on the wing, our spirits can soar above it all and our hearts and minds ascend to higher realms. That Christ consciousness transcends and allows us to be in the world but not of the world.
Greg Olsen
Born in 1958, Greg Olsen was raised in a farming community in rural Idaho. His parents, artists themselves, recognized and encouraged his early love of drawing. Later, the devoted tutelage of a high school teacher cemented his affinity and enhanced his technical ability. After studying illustration at Utah State University, he was hired as an in-house illustrator in Salt Lake City, working on anything from murals and dioramas to simple paste-up. Two years later, he followed a friend's advice and began painting full time.
