 William
Clayton Hallmark has a God-given talent that has made him
one of today's top Christian artists. In his thirties, this
painter captures the unique symbolism of Bible verses with
amazing insight and understanding. Each of William's pieces
is inspired by God's word. The imagery of Christian themes
is carried throughout his paintings as they capture the life
and legacy of Jesus Christ as well as the Christian faith.
William is a native of Birmingham, Alabama whose work is
appreciated throughout the United States. His art has been
featured on the cover and pages of several Christian magazines
and William has appeared on radio and television programs,
including The 700 Club.
 As
a result of William's commitment to honor God with his talent,
he was inspired to create his first spiritual painting, "Lion
of Judah". This particular painting gained him national
attention and he was asked to appear on CBN's 700 Club
to
explain the Christian symbolism feature in the painting.
William recalls his own personal struggle with his symbolic
painting.
"I prayed to the Lord, help me get the expression right
in his eyes. His eyes would be the focal point of the painting.
After intense painting and struggling with the canvas, God
answered my prayer.
Since then, His original works have touched and inspired
audiences of many different backgrounds. William has been
featured in numerous Christian publications and several covers
of magazines. Now fans can keep up with William's latest work
as well as purchase on of his many well-known pieces. It is
William's desire that his art help bring certain cherished
Bible verses to light in your own walk with Christ. I have
witnessed people getting choked up over just seeing one of
my pieces. I receive such a blessing to see how may God-given
talent touches someone else. It is a very humbling experience.
William is still seeking God's inspiration as he uses his
gift to serve Christ. He is a full time artist and is currently
also instructing art for a local church's conservatory program.
"I realize that I am only a vessel that God uses to produce
these images and that my creative spirit comes from him. I
hope you will enjoy watching what God unfolds next as I seek
to honor Him with my gifts."
