Meet Láyla Messner
Virtual Studio Visit
Step into my artist studio for a private virtual tour.
Let's Connect
One-on-one
My studio is my safe space, the one place where I can unmask and be uninhibited as an autistic woman. Just three times per month, I welcome one collector into my sanctuary for a private virtual tour.During your 30-minute video chat with me, we can get to know each other a bit. You can ask me questions about my activism and creative process. We'll discuss your tastes and what you're looking for, and I'll hand-pick paintings that would be a good match for you. Plus, I'll share the story behind your favorite pieces.This is an opportunity to support my mission, connect with me personally, and own a piece of instinctual art!
My Current Series
INSTINCT
As an autistic artist, painting is my natural language. My artwork is abstract, expressive, and gestural. I’m a very physical, feeling-based person and a process-based artist. Painting allows me to express feeling through color, texture, and movement - instead of having to use words.The INSTINCT series is my most personal work. I'm painting my own transformation, my journey of autistic unmasking to expose my true self. I'm exploring what it means to be uninhibited, wild, and primal.
Experience Untamed Authenticity
Hi, I'm Láyla
I'm an autistic art activist who grew up in the wilderness of Canada. My work raises awareness about high-masking autism and invisible disability. When you purchase one of my original paintings, you support my mission and activism work.
Want to own a piece of my art?
Let’s chat!
Each month, I offer Virtual Studio Visits to three collectors who want the chance to experience private viewings of my work and connect with me from anywhere in the world. It's a process of discovery to find the piece that calls to you!
