    Please e-mail us about your favorites. Feel encouraged to surf the directories and suggest original artists to us.

    Please note: our site is solely for artists who work more in the "academic style" of the modern serious artist than most Christian artists that you find represented in Christian bookstores. We encourage any kind of original Christian artwork and value you sending us a link to it. We do have to reject many sites sent to us because they fall more into "crafts- style" pages.
