Mark Lawrence is one of America’s most widely collected Christian artists. Thousands of his prints have sold worldwide, online and through major retailers. Every VerseVisions™ piece pairs original modern art with the words of Scripture.
He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 1 John 4:8
I read 1 John 4:8 for years before I felt it. God is love. Not a feeling He has, but the truth of who He is. He did not start loving you when you became loveable, and He will not stop when you fall apart. The love is not yours to earn it is His to give, and it already has your name on it.
Mark’s VerseVisions™ Christian modern abstract paintings are inspired by Scripture and thoughtfully created to encourage faith, offer strength, and reflect our identity in Jesus Christ. Each artwork is a visual meditation on God’s Word, designed to bring peace, hope, and meaning into your space.

Common questions
Is this an original painting? It is uniquely original: a one-of-a-kind object finished by Mark’s hand, though not an original painting in the traditional sense. It is a digital-origin work completed as a unique object in the tradition of the monoprint: a repeatable image, finished by an unrepeatable hand. No two are alike.
What does “hand-embellished” mean? Archival clear gel painted by hand in raised, directional strokes over the printed painting. The full method is described in The Clear Impasto Technique.
What arrives with the canvas? The canvas (unframed, rolled in a heavy-duty tube), the signed Certificate of Authenticity with your piece’s number, and a personal note from Mark about this verse.
What happens when the One of One sells? It’s gone. The page stays, marked “In a private collection.” No second one is ever made.
