Sharing Our Voices: “The Healing Power of Christ” (Sculpture Exhibit)
Through sculpture, Angela Johnson shares her testimony and faith in the Savior, Jesus Christ. Thirteen of her beautiful and moving pieces are currently on display at the Visitor’s Center at the St. George Utah temple. Sister Johnson says, “No aspect of my life is more precious to me than the gospel of Christ. It is the anchor of my life.”
Sister Johnson’s work is also displayed at the Newport Beach temple. She created this beautiful Christus statue in less than five weeks.
You can find other sculptures of Sister Johnson’s here. (Click on small blue ‘next’ tag at the top of that page to move to the next piece.) She has created a foundation “to create a sculpture garden depicting the beautiful lessons given by our savior Jesus Christ. ” The pieces on this site symbolize love, healing, faith, trust, miracles, and reverence.
If you would like to read more about the artist’s life, including her journey from opera to sculpture, you can read more here.
