Generations of Mothers

“Generations of Mothers” was first inspired by Michelangelo’s painting of the Creation of Adam. His painting was from a masculine perspective and I found myself excited to create a feminine version, with Heavenly Mother creating Eve. But the creation of Eve was more than the creation of just one woman, she was the vessel through which all the generations of the earth would be born.

Heavenly Mother is the Mother of all our spirits. Eve was the first mortal mother and she, and the mothers after her, are still mothers to each of us. The seeds of all of them are in us. Their wisdom is in our DNA. We are not alone in raising our children. There are numerous helping hands on both sides of the veil.

So Heavenly Mother created Eve, who created her daughters, who created us, who created our children, who will create children of their own. But not only does this image represent where we have come from, but it also represents who we are becoming. Notice the baby’s lifted finger on her right hand and her gaze looking to the women before her. She is preparing to follow in their footsteps. An infant girl is born, who grows up to become a mother, who eventually leaves this mortal sphere and continues on to the spirit world, where she will eventually be crowned with glory, and she will be like Her, and all the Mother has will be Hers.

With a belief the spirit of her work carries messages directly to each viewer’s heart, in a language only art can speak, Katie carefully strives to paint by the Spirit of God. You may have seen her work at past IAA shows, the Zions Bank Art Show, and the Certain Women Show at Anthony’s Fine Art & Antiques. She was the recipient of the 2021 IAA People’s Choice award. As a mother of 7 children, Katie is constantly balancing her work as a mother with her calling as an artist. She describes painting as a spiritual experience that gives her frequent opportunities to be still, appreciate the beauty of this world, and reconnect with her Heavenly Parents. She hopes her art helps others do the same.
