						"The quality of the canvas impressed us as soon as we saw

						“Derek J. Hegsted with his oil painting Journey’s End, must 
						be considered a capa d’opera among Christian processes and 
						content-form driven paintings. Completing just one or two 
						paintings a year, Hegsted – through the sale of reproductions 
						of his pictures – has made a career of religious painting. 
						His painting of flesh is both sophisticated and emotional, 
						going beyond the typical grisaille (monochrome painting) 
						quality of most realists.”  
						Painting and Sculpture by Dr. Vern G. Swanson, Robert 
						S. Olpin, and William C. Seifrit, p. 276

								The picture "I will not fail 
								thee" has brought my family such hope and 
								peace.  It still hangs in my bedroom and I go to 
								sleep and wake up to it every day.  When my 
								mother had to go into a convalescent home before 
								she died I bought the print and brought it to 
								her and said "mom, this is just how you looked 
								as a little girl - when you look at this picture 
								imagine that is you with Jesus holding you."  I 
								cannot tell you the peace and comfort that it 
								brought to my mother before she died.  Thank you 
								so much for your gift.

								Derek Hegsted is an artist who pours 
								his soul into his work. His hands provide a vessel 
								for the spirit of the Lord to testify of God's love 
								through this medium. His work is personal, deeply 
								layered with testimony, and filled with meaning 
								and matters of eternal importance. Our family owns 
								several of his pieces, and we look forward to future 
								purchases. His artwork touches the soul and the 
								heart of what it is to love the Lord.

								I met Derek at the local fitness 
								center and had no idea I was in the presence of 
								such a fantastic artist. Derek is very personable 
								and what touched me most is the outpour of concern 
								and caring he has for his wife and six children. 
								My husband and I were just admiring his work and 
								I have to say that although one leads you here to 
								look at and/ or purchase artwork, you could not 
								be purchasing and supporting a more caring man and 
								his family and he has great sense of humor!

								| Since his earliest days as a budding 
								artist we have watched Derek fine tune his gift. 
								His prints grace our living room and bring a 
								tremendous 
								level of peace to our family. Several guests in 
								our home have been mesmerized, touched and renewed 
								by his representations. We recommend his work to 
								all who seek to be edified by art, and to those 
								who appreciate the style of some of the greatest 
								artists of the world. Derek's paintings not only 
								come from his heart and mind, they come from his 
								very soul. His paintings change lives. They will 
								change yours too. |
