Revelation Illustrated
Today, I have a special treat for you. It is the beautiful artwork of Pat Marvenko Smith. I recently came across her work while doing research on the thrones of God. When I saw her illustrations, I immediately bought a couple of her posters. What a talented and gifted artist Pat is, and I know you will be inspired and awed as you look at her masterful pieces here on this post, and on her website RevelationIllustraed.com.
The Emerald Throne by Pat Marvenko Smith
Below is a quote from her website:
Meet the Artist Pat Marvenko Smith
Pat Marvenko Smith is a free-lance commercial illustrator and designer. She has done artwork professionally all of her adult life. She has done various types of artwork for publishers, businesses, ad agencies and ministries in the United States and Canada. After rededicating her life and talents to the Lord in 1980, Pat was led to and accepted a challenge that very few artists have accepted: She illustrated the Book of Revelation from beginning to end. This project was not commissioned by a publisher, but was done out of necessity and a desire to help a group of teenage Sunday school students better understand the message in Revelation by seeing the visions described there. In preparation for teaching the class, Pat searched bookstores and libraries in vain for visual materials to supplement her teaching. The Book of Revelation, the last book in the Bible, was given in the form of fantastic visual images. The artist felt that it needed to be taught in the same way in which the Lord gave it to the apostle John --- visually! She came to the realization that if she wanted visual teaching materials, she would have to illustrate the visions herself. She also realized that the only way she could do such a difficult task, was with God's guidance.
The Tabernacle At Sunset by Pat Marvenko Smith
Her work reminds me of Eph 2:10. “For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.” Just like God had a plan for Pat’s artistic abilities, He has had a plan for your life as well. So, go exploring with God today to find out what that plan may be for your life. While on that journey, you will be blessed and be a blessing In Jesus Name!
