About
this edition:
Walter
Rane studied at the Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles
prior to beginning a career in New York City as a freelance commercial
artist and illustrator. In 1994 he moved his family to Oregon
to focus on portraiture, landscapes, and the scriptural studies
for which he is becoming best-known to Latter-day Saints.
Though he began his
career as an illustrator, his approach to painting is emotional
and figurative, not literal. "I don't try to paint as if
I were there with my camera capturing the moment," Rane says.
"Rather, I try to depict what Moroni might have felt when
he found his father dead. What did he feel at that moment, knowing
that he was now alone in the world? That's what I paint."
As an added feature,
