Utah-based artist Ken Corbett joins Sam Bushman on Liberty RoundTable Live to discuss his award-winning painting "The Widow's Mite," which earned a Silver Medal at the 7th Annual International Art Competition in New York City — an event organized by NTD (New Tang Dynasty) Television and supported by The Epoch Times. Ken shares the heart behind his work: a young widow with children, giving everything she has in an act of faith, inspired by the biblical accounts in Luke and Mark.
The conversation explores the deeper themes of sacrifice, trust in God, and moral courage woven into Ken's classical realist paintings. Sam offers a powerful and unique perspective as a blind man reflecting on art he's never seen, drawing connections between the widow's story, the woman with the alabaster oil, and other scriptural accounts of selfless faith.
They also discuss Ken's involvement with Bel Ame (Center for Artful Living), a nonprofit community dedicated to educating hearts through the arts, where the painting now resides as inspiration for mothers and families. Ken previews his upcoming Old Testament series, including paintings of Abraham and Isaac, David and Goliath, and Esther before the king.
A conversation about the people behind the scenes, anonymous donors, supporters, and everyday heroes, who make faith-driven art and storytelling possible.
