Chad S. Hawkins began his series of temple artwork in 1989, at the age of seventeen to support his two-year mission in Frankfurt , Germany, for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Chad's portfolio to date includes special commissions from the Governor of Utah, the Utah Sate Legislature, West Jordan City Hall, the University of Utah, and This is the Place State Park . His artwork has been featured in LDS magazines, including the New Era and the Ensign. Chad's artwork was selected to be placed in the cornerstones of at least twelve temples.
Since 1989, the artwork of Chad Hawkins has consistently maintained two elements: temples and hidden images. Chad has visited most of the LDS temples and has published over seventy temple works of art. Before drawing each temple, he visits the temple site to research the history, construction, and beautiful surroundings. He then returns to his studio to draw the temple by referring to his note, sketches, and photographs. During this process he has conducted over 100 interviews with temple architects, general authorities, temple presidents and interior designers.
"Although I gain great satisfaction from creating artwork of varying subjects, there is nothing I would rather paint than these modern-day monuments to sacrifice, hard work, and faith. My testimony and love for the Lord's House is an integral part of my art." - Chad Hawkins
