Notes
Art major, BYU. Artist statement: "The wife of King Lamoni, queen of the Lamanites, was a woman of great faith. Everyone around her believed her husband dead, but she turned to divinely appointed sources and asked the prophet. The instant he told her that Lamoni was not dead, she believed. I have a powerful testimony of both the scriptures and the living prophet. This story, of a woman’s unwavering faith, inspires me to be better and trust the lord. “Nevertheless I believe” she said to the Prophet. In turn, Amon proclaimed: “there has not been such great faith among all the people of the Nephites” (Alma 19:10). I strive to someday have as powerful faith as she does. I hoped to capture a feeling of faith and emotion in this artwork, and show the expression of a woman trusting in the lord. I used a digital medium, using Clip Studio Paint on the iPad. Even when it seems like the entire world is saying one thing, listen to the prophet. Listen, and believe."
