Vision Of Hope

My artwork is based on the Journey to Bethlehem, Luke 2:4-7.  My title the Vision of Hope refers to how everyone sees God in everyday actions such as helping the unfortunate.  This vision is drawn looking through my eyes and how I learn about God and Jesus.  This story makes me think of my parent’s journey of raising me – their first daughter. I can only imagine how hard this has been for them at times, from birth to now as an almost teenager.

In the pupil of the eye, you will see the Star of Bethlehem guiding Mary and Joseph on their way. The star represents the desire to share their love and role of caring for a child. I chose to draw in coloured pencils to enable me to add contrast in different parts of the artwork.

The puzzle piece in different skin tones depicts God's love for everyone no matter where they are from or what they look like and how each person on this planet sees God although they might not realise it.  I wanted to show God’s love for everyone and everyone’s love for God.
