Where Did Lightway Art Come From?Hi my name is Vedric, I'm the artist and creator of Lightway Art. Every since i remember i always loved drawing when i was a small child, because I was so different as child this was my escape. When in school I was always different and loved to draw comics and liked video games. being the only girl of three boys, I was a tomboy and the oddball I always was teased and stuck out with a funny nothern accent to my voice I had very low self esteem and hated taking pictures as well. I never went out or had any friends, except Brian my cousin when i was in high school and I've never dated anyone in my life, by choice now i was such a loner because i was always teased and constantly reject by other kids for my difference, I'm still gaining social skills as a result of my childhood, i was always such a closed up person who feared rejection.
One night when I was 17 and my brothers( I am the only girl of three boys) went out with friends bored and lonely I picked up a pencil and drew my first picture of a person ever in my life I was shocked to say the least. I "had" low self-esteem all my life. "expect now because of God's deliverance" when I was in middle school I just wanted to die I thought I was ugly even though I am attractive I couldn't see that at the time. I thought I was the ugly duckling and for years ever since I could remember I felt like that. I remember when I was teased so bad in middle school and by my brothers ans cousins I was suicidal I just wanted die because at the time at time I thought that was the only way to escape the pain of what I considered great rejection and other things that happened when I was 13 triggered this as well. BUT GOD stepped in and pulled me out great bouts of depression and loneliness. One afternoon when I was out of school I was watching an Oprah show with my mom we saw a girl that was in art class and she picked up a brush and started to paint she had a hidden talent she knew nothing about. My mom said I wonder if you can paint, So my birthday came up, we were really struggling then but she took her last money after bills and bought me a paint set I was turning 18, I walked in my bedroom after school and an oil painting set (Bob Ross) was on my bed I was in tears to say the least. I started to paint as you see here on Lightway art. I've never had a lesson or Art class or how to class in my life not one! what I'm saying here is we all have something special inside of us put there by Almighty God himself, Do you know that when God made you that was it! There will never be another you Ever! The creator of the universe thought of you enough to make you and give you a chance at life so this day I say to please don't forget to love and celebrate yourself. you are special and you are somebody. no matter who said what about you, God is Hope. My Turing point happened there, I'm now doing much better, because of God's love, why not share what delivered me with others thus Lightway art was born God gave me idea when i was 17 years old but i did not understand it then because i could not paint then so it was sort of deja vu in a small way i guess. God already knew :)!
The reason I paint Christian Art as seen here on Lightway art is inspiration, because of God's real presence and love i survived a very lonely and depressing childhood and i want to spread that joy to others through the good news of Jesus Christ through this gospel art, the same gospel that delivered me and set me free. I am a living testimony, that God is faithful and God is good. the same God that delivered me will deliver all who call on him, I have no doubt. Lightway art was joy that was birthed from pain.
