Notes
Pre-Business major, BYU. Artist statement: "Pencil on 8.5x11. Alma Chapter 38 has had the most impact on my life in the last year. The words so lovingly delivered from a father to his son has guided me through the ups and downs recently in my life. Not much is said about Shiblon in the Book of Mormon, other than about his righteousness. Sometimes I feel the same as this son, if my role in someone's story only consists of a few words, I would want it to be about my dedication to Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ and the good that got me to the point I am at now. Oftentimes when discouraged, I replace my name with Shiblon's and imagine the advice coming from a Heavenly source. I really wanted to convey the message so reverently given to Shiblon by creating this piece out of the words spoken. Enjoy!"
