In the summer of 2008, the Collaboration of the Arts in Meadow Vista, California, began connecting young artists with fabulous mentors. As a result, the young artists discovered gifts they never knew they had and enjoyed the thrill of creating something magnificent.

Ten years later, nine artists (many who were with the Collaboration from the beginning), ranging in age from 12 to 71 (some beginning artists, some experienced), gathered together for ten months to bring the most famous quotes of Jesus of Nazareth to life.

Friends and family joined in the fun by acting as models and offering their photo skills, producing reference photos for the excited artists. The result is a beautiful gift book to bring beauty and light to any home.

Inside these pages you will discover a journey of hope and life through the quotes of Jesus, and you will also be invited to join us on the journey of making art as you sneak behind the scenes and follow the steps on our tips page. Who knows? You may discover something you want to bring to life, even as these artists have done.

You are never too old or too young to begin this amazing journey of creating art!
