My Christian Art Series

Christian art seriesChristian Art — A Place Where Faith and Creativity Intertwine

This is my Christian Art Series—a collection of paintings by me that are inspired by faith and devotion. Through this series, I channel my artistic abilities to capture the beauty and truth of the Most High God.

Creator God is the ultimate artist weaving His masterpiece across the universe. From the cosmic swirls of galaxies to the rugged peaks of mountains, from the ocean’s deepest secrets to the delicate flutter of a butterfly’s wing. His artistry is evident everywhere.

Our Heavenly Father and my Christian faith are profoundly important to me. So, it feels only natural that I’d turn my beliefs, experiences, and devotion into canvas art. God has blessed me in so many ways and artistic talent is among those blessings. I would be remiss not using it for His glory.

For me, creating Christian art is an act of worship. It’s a way to honor the Savior and encourage others to connect with Him too. It serves as a powerful tool to convey spiritual messages, share the Gospel, and engage with non-believers.

In my Christian-themed paintings, I explore a range of subjects from biblical landscapes and locations to depictions of church buildings and theological concepts.  As you gaze upon my Christian art, may your heart recognize the whispers of grace and the hues of redemption. These paintings are more than pigment—they’re invitations to encounter the God of the Universe.

An original landscape painting of van Gogh’s church. This painting depicts the village church in Auvers, France made famous by Dutch post-impressionist painter Vincent van Gogh.

This painting can add style to any wall or space in your home or workspace. It is painted by hand on gallery-wrapped stretched canvas permitting the artist to continue the composition to the sides of the painting.

Artist Comments

While Vincent van Gogh was living in France, he painted his famous Auvers Church painting in his own post-impressionist style. I thought it would be fun to paint the same church only in my own realistic style.

The Gothic church depicted in this painting was initially painted and made famous by Vincent van Gogh in June 1890. Van Gogh’s church is located in the small village of Auvers, France, where he lived before his death. I wanted to do my own rendition of this lovely church, and the results of that desire are what you see here. Even though our painting styles are vastly different, Van Gogh is one of my favorite Old Masters. From his famous sunflowers painting to that lovely church in the village where he lived, I love much of Van Gogh’s work.

—Teresa Bernard

An oil painting depicting the modern-day Sea of Galilee and its surroundings, a site revered in Christians as the location where Jesus performed miracles, including walking on water.

A one-of-its-kind oil painting of the modern-day Sea of Galilee and its environs. In the foreground, the shore of Capernaum is painted in a painterly style with brown, red, and green paints.

Sea of Galilee at Capernaum is hand-painted on a traditional stretched canvas and signed in the lower left corner by artist Teresa Bernard.

Artist Comments

The Sea of Galilee is a large freshwater lake located in northeast Israel, between the Golan Heights and the Galilee region. The Jordan River is its primary source of water. The lake is approximately 13 miles long and 8 miles wide.

My love of God’s word and Bible readings about Jesus inspired this painting of the famous Sea of Galilee. Israel is very important to me because it is home to God’s chosen people. I’ve never been to Israel, but it’s somewhere I’d like to visit someday. This painting was composed using a reference photo from the “Pictorial Library of Bible Lands.” The photographer, Todd Bolen, graciously permitted me to use his photographs for any of my Bible land paintings.

According to Matthew 4:13-22, this historic biblical location is where Jesus began His ministry and called His first disciples. This passage tells us Jesus left Nazareth and went to Capernaum. While walking along the Sea of Galilee, He called the first four of His disciples Simon (also called Peter), Andrew, James, and John.

Your Feedback

“I love it and looked at the site. The “Sea of Galilee at Capernaum” put me in mind of something by Turner or some of the Hudson River schools. Wonderful stuff.” — josisenberg, SciFi & Fantasy Writers, Gab

“I really like your paintings–the portrait of your husband is very unusual in composition and the backlighting–wish I could see it in real life. Another [painting] that really caught my eye especially is the Sea of Galilee at Capernaum–the light in the sky is particularly indicative of something spiritual, even if one didn’t know a thing about the religious significance of the place.” — Elena M., Columbia, MD

Artist Comments

This Calvary sunset painting is a religious-themed landscape painting portraying the cross in silhouette against a colorful evening sky. One should not consider this painting as a literal representation of the crucifixion of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Instead, it depicts that moment in time just after the disciples took His lifeless body down from the cross.

The Holy Bible tells us about this momentous historical event throughout its pages. From Scripture, we learn that Jesus Christ endured the crucifixion from approximately 9 AM until 3 PM and that His dead body was removed from the cross just before sundown.

The four New Testament Gospels also describe a supernatural phenomenon that occurred at the moment of His death.

—Teresa Bernard

What we Learn from the Four Gospels

    • Matthew mentions an earthquake, the opening of the saints’ tombs in the vicinity, and the resurrected saints making an appearance in Jerusalem.
    • Mark reveals that darkness spread throughout the land, and the temple veil was ripped in two.
    • Luke tells us Jesus was crucified with criminals and that the Roman soldiers mocked Him and cast lots for His clothing.
    • John describes the soldiers twisting a crown of thorns together and putting it on Jesus’ head; and that Jesus was crucified at Golgotha, which means the place of the Skull.
