Ministry of Angels Collection

The Ministry of Angels collection is the heart of Kerri Guthrie's body of work. Each painting in this series portrays a simple, sacred moment: someone reading their scriptures, studying quietly, or gathering with family, all while guardian angels stand watch nearby. The angels in these scenes are not distant or abstract. They are present, protective, and deeply personal. Kerri paints them with soft light and quiet authority, standing just behind a shoulder or hovering at the edge of a room, always close enough to feel but never intruding on the moment.

What makes this collection resonate so strongly with the people who hang it in their homes is the intimacy of the scenes. These are not grand, theatrical depictions of heavenly hosts. They are living rooms, bedsides, and kitchen tables. The subjects are children, parents, grandparents, and young couples, all doing something that millions of people do every day: turning to their faith for comfort and guidance. The guardian angels remind us that even in the most ordinary moments, something extraordinary is happening just beyond what we can see.

Families and Individuals in Faith

Several pieces in the collection focus on individuals at different stages of life. A young girl sits quietly with her scriptures in the original "Ministry of Angels" painting, the work that started it all. A boy does the same in a companion piece. A woman studies alone in "Reading Scriptures," while in "A Faithful Study," a man reads by lamplight. Each of these works captures the personal nature of scripture study and the idea that spiritual protection does not require an audience. Whether you are six or sixty, the ministry of angels is available to anyone who seeks it.

The family-focused pieces, like "Family Holding Hands" and "Angels with Shields & Swords," expand the scope. These paintings show that angelic protection extends beyond the individual and wraps around the entire household. "Grandparents" is a particularly moving work in the series, depicting how faith and heavenly guardianship pass through generations. Couples are represented too, with "Young Couple" and its sequel showing the early stages of building a life together under divine watch.

Custom Commissions and Personalized Pieces

Because this collection is so personal by nature, Kerri regularly accepts custom commissions within the Ministry of Angels theme. The "Robertson Family" piece, for example, was created for a specific family who wanted their own likeness painted into the scene. If you have a vision for a personalized guardian angel painting featuring your own family, Kerri would love to hear about it. Reach out through the contact form or email her directly.

All prints in the Ministry of Angels collection are available through the Square online shop in multiple sizes, printed on premium archival paper. They make meaningful gifts for baptisms, weddings, housewarmings, and any occasion where you want to remind someone that they are watched over and loved.
