Summary

Rose Datoc Dall found comfort in the story of salvation taught within the restored gospel of Jesus Christ as a young woman. She began painting religious art and observed through her artistic success how God prevails in our lives. In the new book she shepherded me, Expressions of Jesus, Rose invites others to not only see Christ more clearly, but to see themselves in His story. In this interview, she shares how art can become a form of testimony, how creative expression deepens faith, and why she hopes everyone—artist or not—can find their reflection in the Savior’s life and love.

6:14- Consecrated Art in His Timing

0:00.0	Before we get into today's episode, I just wanted to apologize in advance. I had some technical
0:05.8	difficulties on my end during this interview that caused the audio to be a bit lower quality
0:11.0	than what we normally try to provide with these episodes. The good news is that Rose sounds perfect
0:17.0	and what she says is most important. So I hope you'll bear with the little bit of feedback
0:21.4	when I'm asking questions and hang in there until Rose starts talking again. We promise this
0:27.2	will not become the norm and I promise that Rose's message is worth listening to.
0:33.5	I love a quote found in the new book, Expressions of Jesus, which our guests today, Rose Daytok
0:40.3	doll, shepherded.

1:03.6	This new collection of pictures of Christ shows how children of God have painted their

1:19.3	created for the same purpose it always has been created for, to testify of the significance of Jesus.
1:28.3	Rose Day Talk doll is an award-winning Filipino-American artist,
1:33.4	born in 1968 in Washington, D.C., and raised in Northern Virginia.
1:37.9	She received a BFA in Art History and Fine Art Studio from VCU in 1990.
1:45.0	Her contemporary figurative paintings are distinctive by her use of bold colors and dynamic design,
1:52.0	but her most iconic work is her religious art, including depictions of Jesus Christ.
1:57.0	Her artwork is in several permanent museum and university collections. Dahl and her husband
