Hi, my name is Gwen Lamb. I’m a self-taught artist and have been painting professionally since 1988. Since my childhood, I have always had a desire to create beautiful works of art. I enjoy doing landscapes, because I couldn’t do “people”. My style of painting utilizes a black background which pulls the observer out of their world and into mine.

 

In 2001 while doing a piece for a client, I was asked to include a shrine, which meant I had to do a face. The shrine proved easier than the scene. One month later, an intense “feeling” beckoned to me to paint another larger image. I pushed it aside and politely said “no”. I didn’t feel worthy for such an undertaking. The feeling persisted until I gave in, and in the end proved me wrong.

 

What has started as a feeling has been seen in visions and dreams, and heard in prayer, bringing me into a deeper awareness of the presence of God. It is through Him, that I pray His children will be now pulled out of their world and into His.
