Reviews of “Illuminated Visions, Women of the Bible”

Sara’s art is light made visible. As viewers of her paintings, we see not only the power and beauty of these women from the Bible, but feel their blessings and wisdom reaching out across time to guide and support us today. It is like meeting our own very precious ancestors, once long-lost, now found.

Through her graceful paintings and touching stories, Sara Novenson puts us in touch with the eternal feminine sources of wisdom and courage. Her models are women of the Bible but through them, she speaks to women of all ages and cultures.

Sara Novenson’s art is luminous, mysterious, and compelling. The women of the Bible come alive in her magnificent portraits and speak directly to the soul in a most powerful way. This is a book to cherish through every season of your life.
