Reviews
"Freed from stylistic and formal fads, Michael O'Brien's images arrest viewers in the here and now before propelling them into the depths of spirituality. His story recalls that of Fra Angelico--living Truth while painting Truth." -- Elizabeth Lev , Art Historian and Author, How Catholic Art Saved the Faith "O'Brien's time spent as a writer of Byzantine icons has influenced all his work: these pieces are indeed 'windows to heaven'." -- Sally Read , Poet and Author, Night's Bright Darkness: A Modern Conversion Story "Those of us who know Michael O'Brien's fiction will delight in this volume of his art. His work is quintessentially personal, in the sense that it incarnates the extraordinary vision of this marvelous man." -- Joseph Pearce , Author, Literature: What Every Catholic Should Know

Michael O'Brien has been a professional painter of religious art since 1970. Though his reputation as a Catholic novelist and essayist began in 1996, and continues on the strength of more than twenty-eight published books, he is also widely known as a visual artist, with his paintings in churches, universities, and other institutions, as well as in public galleries and private collections throughout the world. In this book, O'Brien presents and comments on many of his important pieces. He explains his development as a religious artist and his philosophy of sacred art. The vibrancy, originality, and variety of his work are on display in more than one hundred twenty full-color reproductions of his paintings and Byzantine-style icons. Also included are some of his drawings and other works in black and white., In this book, Michael O'Brien presents many of his stunning works of art. His vibrancy, originality, and variety are on display in more than 120 full-page, full-color reproductions of his paintings and Byzantine-style icons.
