Author Information

"For centuries, the church was one of the greatest producers and supporters of art and used it as a tool to help people encounter Christ. That practice has faded, but Ryan Paulson wants to bring it back. As a pastor, he is hungry to find tools that help people grow in spiritual formation because he is convinced that Jesus wants to use our whole mind and all of our senses to meet with us--after all, ""we live in a God-bathed world."" His hope is that the convergence of devotional theology and artistic expression as found in Visual Liturgy would create an authentic contemplative experience for people to encounter Jesus and be transformed. Forrest Morgan is a 28-year-old artist out of Littleton, Colorado and has always been drawn to portraiture and capturing subtleties and voices of the human spirit. He uses Prismacolor Premier Pencils; they've been his favorite medium for years. Each of the pieces in Visual Liturgy was created using only primary colors (red, blue, and yellow) and tints and shades (greyscale). His decision to restrict himself came after a history of 'color over-thought'. Says Forrest, ""It's amazing how simple otherwise complex colors can become, when you start to see only red, blue, and yellow."""
