About PaintedLight.com and Artist Gaye Lynne LaGuire
Our family is pleased to offer the Christian paintings of Gaye Lynne LaGuire for the first time on the Internet. Since the publication of the first painting of Jesus as the Good Shepherd in the 1980's, lithographs of Gaye Lynne's work has been carried all over the world by missionaries. You may also have greetings cards in your local bible book store. We've heard from many people these past 20 years how they have been inspired by her paintings and how reverent Jesus seems. Glowing, fresh color and the intimacy of Jesus' personality are part of the strong appeal. Gaye Lynne's efforts to reflect a Jesus tough enough to travel the biblical countryside, and to be of that ethnic descent makes Him believable for this generation of seekers.
Gaye Lynne moved to California from Michigan in 1962 after graduating from the University of Michigan as a design major. She practiced portrait painting in Southern California and taught drawing at a nearby junior college. A recent relocation to the beach community of Carpinteria near Santa Barbara gave pause to consider what the next move in her art might be. Discovery that Carpinteria was Spanish for "place of the carpenters" gave rise to make distribution of Jesus' paintings the focus of her art efforts. We are pleased that you have found us on the Web! We hope you enjoy browsing Gaye Lynne LaGuire's wonderful art.
