Creator: Heart of a Lion

Depicts the passion of Creator’s heart as seen through the eyes of an artist who believes Creator is very much in touch with His creation. Creator is the ONE who counts the months till the doe bears her fawn; the ONE who hunts the prey for the lioness; the ONE who knows our frame before we were even born; the ONE who calls us each by name.

Working with Native Americans who walk the Jesus Way, colorist Sandy Cathcart depicts the heart of Creator through such paintings as “The One Who Sees” – He sees every pain, every hurt and He longs to heal. “Love is on the Move” – He is out to get you, but not to eat you, just to love you! “Behind the Veil” – Creator on the cross with the veil of death coming down while He gives His last breath in a ferocious snarl, saying, “I’m gonna be back.” “The Warrior King” – He will break back through the veil and return to put an end to all pain and sorrow and evil and suffering.

These paintings and many more are found in the pages of Creator – Heart of a Lion. The perfect gift for those who love lions and powerful art!

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!
