Artist Statement: My Light portrays a young woman making her way through this dark world with Jesus as her Light and Guide. At times, this life can feel difficult to navigate and the darkness can be overwhelming. I love knowing that I can reach out to Jesus and He will guide me. I can trust and find peace in Him no matter the situation. He has always been there for me. Even now, in the most trying time of my life, I am so thankful He will always be “My Light.”
Artist Bio: Laila Flatebo Garza is a self-taught painter focused on portraits; figurative works, often set in the landscapes of Norway, where her parents were born; and paintings inspired by the life of Jesus. She has developed her skills through workshops with artists she admires, such as Casey Childs, Mike Malm, Dan Gerhartz, Beki Tobiasson, and Dan Wilson.
She hopes her work helps the viewer feel the spirit and beauty of God's creations and her love for Him.
