I Would Gather Thee

God still longs to gather us today under His wing. He is anxious to protect us and provide comfort amidst the ever growing storms that surround us. I painted twelve chicks, symbolic of the number of Jesus' apostles, those who assisted Jesus in His work, and the thought that God wants to gather all of His children, but that He often does this through the love and efforts of others here on earth.

"I Would Gather Thee" by Liz Lemon Swindle portrays God's enduring desire to gather and protect His children, symbolized by twelve chicks representing Jesus' apostles.

Liz Lemon Swindle began her painting career in first grade. Her first exhibitions were on the refrigerator, encouraged by her father. In the early 1980s she tutored under renowned wildlife artist, Nancy Glazier. In 1992, Liz began painting a subject matter she had long desired to approach: her faith. Her paintings are now held in corporate and private collections around the world and have been published in countless magazines and books. Liz and her husband Jon have five children and thirteen grandchildren.
