About the Artist - Christian artist, J.L. Shively started painting at the age of fourteen and began copying Old Master paintings with astonishing precision. He has shown his work in several fine art galleries in Kansas, New York City and Virginia.
    For several years he made his living doing pastel portraits. His goal was to eventually become one of the world’s greatest seascape painters, but God changed his direction. In 1977, the artist turned his work over to the Lord and began using it in ministry, touring as an outreach in secular art shows for many years. In 1991 he began sharing his testimony and his art in churches across the country. Now retired from traveling, the artist is currently sharing God's word and his art online, and through his new book, "The Art of J.L. Shively - Art with a Message."
