Jesus Christ is given many names throughout the scriptures, each an expression of either the writer’s or the time’s perception of Him. “Certainly, mine has evolved since I began to paint the stories of his life,” says Liz, “and will continue to change and grow just as our world does. One thing will remain the same—my need to testify of His love and life through art. Recently, as I created this portrait I returned again and again to one of his names in particular, one whose meaning feels most appropriate for these times: The Prince of Peace.”
