Listen to Laura talk about her work.

The place where I reside profoundly shapes my creative process, offering me the rare gift of  immersion. It’s here that I observe, reflect, and collect—an ever-curious keeper of moments  that linger in memory. Though I take photographs as references, they are only starting points,  visual cues to anchor my ideas. What I truly seek to create comes from within—a deeper  expression that transcends the seen and touches the imagined. This is how I paint and create,  guided by intuition and inner vision. 

For me, colour is not merely visual; it’s an interaction, an energy that resonates on an emotional  level. A piece of art, in its truest form, should evoke a journey—transporting the viewer to "that  dream place," where reality and imagination intertwine. 

I work without a fixed "style," allowing my practice to flow with what I feel and where the energy  takes me. My work often blends realism and abstraction, drawing on a diverse palette of  materials. Acrylics, oils, pastels, oil sticks, and natural pigments feature prominently, each  chosen to convey the mood and texture of a piece. I am deeply connected to the environment,  often incorporating natural dyeing methods and pigments sourced from the earth and creek  waters nearby. These elements are applied to various surfaces, including canvas, boards,  natural linens and the likes, or recycled and reworked vintage pieces, creating a tangible  connection to the land I inhabit. 

My finished works span an array of forms: richly painted canvases, textured wall hangings, The  interplay of texture, colour, and form is at the heart of each piece, inviting the viewer to explore  layers of meaning and experience.

What resonates most deeply with me is stillness—the peace and beauty of the natural world.  The crashing of waves, the shifting hues of the landscape, and the golden glow of a sunset all  inform my creative practice. These moments of quiet wonder serve as my muse. For me, art is   both a refuge and a keeper of such beauty, preserving it as a source of inspiration and solace for  all time.
