1. Yongsung Kim: Capturing the Savior’s Love Through Art

Yongsung Kim is a devoted Christian in Korea, whose life and art are centered on glorifying Jesus Christ. After years of soul-searching and prayer in early adulthood, Yongsung felt called to dedicate his artistic gifts to the Lord. His paintings offer peace and hope in a world often filled with pain and uncertainty. Through soft yet vibrant colors and serene landscapes, his work reflects the light and compassion of the Savior, helping people remember their divine origin and eternal purpose.

The central focus of Yongsung’s art is Jesus Christ as the Good Shepherd - gentle, present, and full of love. His collection includes beloved pieces such as I Shall Not Want, In Green Pastures, Calm and Stars, and Calming Embrace. Among his most powerful themes is the moment Christ reaches into the sea to save Peter - an image that has become a symbol of divine rescue and unshakable grace. The Hand of God. Every brushstroke invites viewers to see the Savior’s true character and to feel His presence in their daily lives, especially when they are sinking.

2. Gabriel Heaton: Sharing Christ’s Healing Through Digital Art

Gabriel Heaton is both a mental health nurse and a devoted follower of Jesus Christ. His personal journey - marked by struggle, healing, and redemption - deepened his understanding of the Savior’s grace. As someone who has experienced being one of the “lost sheep,” Gabriel testifies of the healing power of Christ’s Atonement in both his life and the lives of others.

Feeling called to share that same healing, Gabriel turned to modern digital tools like Midjourney, Photoshop, and Procreate as a creative outlet. His art is deeply personal, reflecting the Savior’s role as the ultimate Healer and Redeemer. With each piece, Gabriel seeks to extend the peace and love he’s found in Christ to others, offering visual reminders of hope, rescue, and restoration.

3. Dan Wilson: Creating Emotion and Light Through Art

Dan Wilson describes his art as a way to uplift and inspire. “I want to paint images that speak to and uplift the viewer, pieces that remind them of the beauties of life, the reasons for living and loving existence. Vibrant colors and brush strokes working together with the disciplines of art to create beauty and emotion you can’t achieve in any other way,” he explains. This passion for creating meaningful, vibrant artwork shines through every piece he produces.

An award-winning fine artist from Lehi, Utah, Dan’s love for art began early - he was always known as “that kid that doodles on everything.” After serving an LDS mission, his dedication to art grew as he pursued a degree in painting at UVU. Under the guidance of his mentor William Whitaker, Dan honed his skills and deepened his craft. Today, Dan paints and teaches from his home studio, supported by his wife and six children, bringing both family and faith into his creative journey.
