Artist statement: "Behind every stripling warrior we read of in the Book of Mormon, there is a mother who loved, nurtured, and taught them bravery through faith in their savior Jesus Christ. Nourished by the word of God in the Book of Mormon, mothers today too raise up gracious warriors. A child who hears the words "if [you] do not doubt, God [will] deliver [you]" (Alma 56:47) will be able to face any battle—be it actual war or spiritual attacks—with strength and confidence. This piece is an attempt to illustrate that holding up modern day warriors and disciples of Christ, there is a deliberately and gently constructed foundation of a parent's teachings. And it is when those teachings are centered on Jesus Christ, that it becomes the surest foundation of them all."
