 Tel Megiddo Original etching/collagraph, numbered from the edition of 100 Image size: 30 x 22" $500 Megiddo is an ancient tel in the lush Jezreel Valley of upper Israel, which revealed twenty or more layers of civilization. Mitchner's book, The Source, was inspired from the finds at this site. The most famous artifact from this tel is this lion seal, with the Hebrew inscription, "belonging to Shema, servant of Jeroboam." |
 Tel Gezer Original etching/collagraph, from the edition of 100 Image size: 30 x 22" $500 Excavations at Gezer uncovered a boundary inscription which identified the city's name. Burial sites were found which included pottery, plates, and jars, even though this custom was forbidden by the Torah. The Gezer Calendar, centered within the print (950 BC), is an agricultural calendar listing the months of harvest, in gathering and planting. |
| The Israelite Tel
Suite is a collection of four intaglio collagraphs,
depicting important archaeological sites relating to
Biblical Israel. A tel is a mound covering the
site of some ancient settlement, generally consisting of
many layers of rubble and artifacts left by succeeding
civilizations. Strata accentuated by horizontal lines
divide the picture into three levels, forming a cross
section of archeological time. In the Israelite
Tel Suite, Bowden brings together earth and time,
incorporating the present landscape of each site, finds
embedded in a strata, and centered in each piece, a
significant specific object relating to the tel's
history. Each is a limited edition of 100 with 15
Artist's Proofs, printed on Arches Buff, 100% rag paper. |

 Tel Hazor Original etching/collagraph, numbered from the edition of 100 Image size: 30 x 22" $500 Hazor was a large Canaanite and Israelite city in Northern Galilee near Mount Hermon. A Canaanite sanctuary was found there which contained a number of basalt steles, one with two hands raised toward a divine lunar symbol of a crescent moon and circle. |
 Tel Lachish Original etching/collagraph, numbered from the edition of 100 Image size: 30 x 22" $500 Significant finds at Lachish include ostraca of great interest for linguistic research of ancient Hebrew. This one is written in a cursive script, the most developed form of Paleo-Hebrew. The lower section of the print is a portion of a mural found at Ninevah depicting the Israelites being marched into captivity by King Sennacherib. |

| Visual artist Sandra Bowden has been
interpreting Scripture and her own spiritual walk
through mixed media for more than 40 years. She has
been acclaimed as one of the most unique, impressive
and inspiring Christian artists in America.
Bowden’s work has been featured in books, magazines
and gallery shows across the United States, Canada,
Italy and Jerusalem. Her work fuses the vivid yet traditional imagery of the Old Testament – stone tablets and artifacts, Hebrew inscriptions, architectural depictions – with images of Christ’s passion, important music scores, and God’s natural creations. She has issued several series of artworks over the years: crucifixion scenes, artistic use of text and color, new interpretations of classic religious artwork, even altered books with applied textures and hues. God’s grandeur and creativity shine through in each piece of her art. “My Christian faith has been the driving force behind my art,” Bowden says. “I look at the making of a piece of art as a kind of doxology, a prayer or conversation with God. I don’t mean this in any mystical way, but my ideas come out of my theology and thoughts about God. I am somewhat of a theologian, but one who translates those interpretations into visual form. |
