"Nourish the Word" is a reflective artwork about the journey of faith, and the importance of nurturing one's spiritual beliefs. Kate Lee explains, "You have to nourish your testimony. You have to nourish your relationship with Christ."
In this piece a woman cradles a young plant in her hands, symbolizing the tender care needed for a testimony to flourish. Lee emphasizes the nurturing process is essential, as "otherwise they don't grow." The woman in the painting is enthralled by watching her plant, her testimony, grow stronger, brighter, and more resilient.
The background of the painting is intentionally ambiguous, with washes that represent "the struggles and the trials of our life," according to Lee. It's a mixture of light and dark, acknowledging that life is a blend of joyous and challenging experiences. Yet, the woman's focus remains steadfast on her growing plant, signifying her commitment to nurturing her faith.
Through "Nourish the Word," Kate Lee invites us to consider our own spiritual journey, encouraging us to hold on tightly to our beliefs and to actively engage in the growth of our personal connection with the divine.
