Leonard Knight has the spent the last fourteen years working on a project called Salvation Mountain. Its a three story multicolored monument made out of mud, old paint and adobe and surrounded by an encampment of brightly painted vehicles. The theme of his project is the message of the gospel: Gods love for mankind and salvation through His Son, Jesus Christ.
The mountain and the message are now renowned and visitors from around the world come to see Knight daily. His work is now on display in the Visionary Folk Art Museum in Baltimore, Maryland and has gained much respect from the folk art community.
