About the Authors
Sally DeFord was born a long time ago (1959) in Eugene, Oregon. She attended Brigham Young University, where she became and avid BYU fan and met her husband, Dennis. Sally and Dennis have lived in Colorado Springs, Colorado, since 1988. They have four children – Jennifer, Holly, Amy, and Danny (who is a senior in high school and the only one left at home) – and one adorable grandson. Sally is currently serving as Relief Society president in her ward. In the few minutes of spare time left between the kids, the calling, the composing, and the Cougars, Sally loves to tread anything she can get her hands on.
The art of Greg Olsen illuminates the soul and spirit of its subjects and uplifts the hearts and minds of its viewers. Olsen’s diverse interests are deftly demonstrated in oil paintings that range from the realistic and historical to the whimsical. His luminous, delicate portraits capture not only his subject’s likeness, but their spirit as well. Landscapes of scenes from America and the world over reflect the perfect beauty of the minds eye.
Born in 1958, Olsen was raised in a farming community in rural Idaho. His parents, artists themselves, recognized and encouraged his early love of drawing. Later, the devoted tutelage of a high school teacher cemented his affinity and enhanced his technical ability. After studying illustration at Utah State University, he was hired as an in-house illustrator in Salt Lake City, working on anything from murals and dioramas to simple paste-up. Two years later, he followed a friend’s advice and began painting full-time. Sales from his first show only just covered the cost of refreshments and invitations, but yielded the first of many commissions that were to come.
Greg’s philosophy on art is quite simple. “I appreciate the beauty of art and the way it makes me feel,” he says. “I believe that art has the potential to heal our souls, inspire our hearts and awaken our minds. I hope these images will bring this experience to all who view them.”
