The verse behind the painting
Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?1 Corinthians 3:16
A note from Mark
In Jesus, Mark
Mark Lawrence has been collected for over a decade in homes, offices and churches. Every VerseVisions™ piece pairs original modern art with the words of Scripture.
In collectors' words
Where Mark's paintings hang, and what they mean there.
“We are thrilled with our second Mark Lawrence piece. After our first, we were hooked! Every time we see our Mark Lawrence art we feel happy and blessed. We get to have gorgeous art in our home that also reminds us of God's word.”
“The embellished canvas paintings are absolutely stunning! We bought quite a few for my husband's office. Whenever a client comes into the office, it is the first thing they notice.”
“Your art touches me deeply. My husband and I are opening a new counseling center through our church, and your work will set the theme for the therapeutic environment that we hope to create.”
“Beautiful work! Perfect gift to my church in memory of my parents.”
“Product is superb, couldn't be more pleased! I purchased for a wedding gift for a very special couple and I know they will love it!”

Common questions
Is this an original painting? It is uniquely original, though not an original painting in the traditional sense. The image begins as a digital work, is printed on archival canvas, then finished by hand in the tradition of the monoprint: a repeatable image completed by an unrepeatable hand.
Does it arrive ready to hang? No. It ships unframed, rolled in a heavy duty tube, with a white border for your frame shop.
How long until it ships? Each canvas is created at the time of order. Allow three to five weeks.
What if it arrives damaged? It is replaced free. Photograph the tube and the canvas and write within seven days.
How do I care for it? Out of direct sun, away from damp, dusted with a soft dry brush. Never a wet cloth.

What is included
Floater frameNothing touches
the surface.
Framing
Ready for your framer.
Any local framer can stretch it in about a week. Mark recommends a floater frame, which keeps the texture open to the light. Never glass, never a mat. We can also ship straight to your framer.

Living with it
Made to last generations.
Archival canvas, pigment inks and a varnished surface built for normal light. Keep it out of direct sun and dust it with a soft dry brush. That is the whole of the care.
