Laura Challiss Kneebone Studio 22
My passion for art stemmed from my upbringing in Zimbabwe, a country rich in contrast and brimming with creativity…and where art is often made out of next to nothing. Instilled in me is an appreciation of culture which I hold close to my heart on my journey as an artist. After graduating from the University of the Creative Arts, I was keen to impart my appreciation of art with others, and I studied Education at the University of London.
As an artist, I am inspired by impressionism. My paintings incorporate bold textures and colours. I employ mixed media techniques and experiment until a precarious balance is achieved in my work. A sense of place is reflected in my subject matter. I am fascinated by the landscape and animals of Australia and I revel in the bold light here. This resonates with the nostalgic African sunshine of my childhood.
I have exhibited internationally since 1998 and continue to teach art to both children and adults. I have also been involved in numerous community art projects including the restorations, murals and collaborative art workshops.
