Looking at the work of this week's featured artist, John Mosiman, takes me back to my childhood years in a conservative Baptist church. The Illinois-born artist comes out of the sacred art tradition of the chalk art ministry, when intinerant artist-preachers use their easels as pulpits to illustrate gospel messages with rapidly drawn chalk pictures. Mosiman put his talent in this special medium to good use at evangelistic tent meetings, while working with the missionary radio station, HCJB, in Quito, Ecuador. After returning to the U.S., he took up performance art, staging "musical painting" events, where he would create pictures, inspired by musical compositions. Mosiman is a gifted graphic artist, specializing in serigraph prints. Five of his images of the life and teachings of Christ have recently been added to the Sacred Art Pilgrim Collection and can now be seen in the image gallery of the new John Mosiman profile page in the Sacred Artists section.
