"HE Carries Me"
For 13 years after graduating with my BFA, I did custom paintings for others of them or their loved ones in the Savior's arms to bring them comfort and peace. In 2026 I experienced some really hard losses that threatened to derail me and spiraled me down into what I call "survival mode." I'm sure many of you have also spent some time in survival mode. I felt the need to visually feel and see the comfort and peace in my own life by being in the Savior's arms that I have tried to describe in my paintings for others over the years. This is the result and yes, it brings me comfort and peace every time I see it hanging on my bedroom wall. I titled it, "He Carries Me." After having this experience I changed the name of my business and my website from "Laurel's Inspirational Art" to "Light of Christ Art", because it never has been about me. It's always about Him! I am just the instrument(paintbrush) in his Hands. Prices start at $500 for a 20x20 custom piece like this.

They called JD's wife to ask if this had been the case because of the dream and she confirmed that it had which brought comfort to the family knowing JD was with the Savior and his little girl again. The AhQuins commissioned me to paint the story of this dream for a Christmas gift for J.D's family. I know the Savior is real and sends tender mercies like this to comfort us in our trials. I'm so grateful to be an artist and meet so many amazing people and hear of their experiences and miracles as I try to bring peace and comfort to their loved ones through my art.
