Growing up in rural surroundings, Laura has always loved to paint from the environment around her. She has a particular love of Tui and plants. This collection is a combination of these and was created over the last six months amidst all the colours of late Autumn and the vibrancy of Spring and Summer. All paintings are on canvas using acrylic paints, starting with an abstract background on which layers are built and a realistic element, such as a tui or insect, added later on.
Bio:
Laura is a full-time artist from Tahekeroa – a rural area North of Auckland. Her surroundings of native bush and the beautiful birds of New Zealand inspired her love of painting all things nature.
Laura's art style has been quite a journey, starting with pen and pencil and just a hint of colour and very fine, detailed work, sometimes adding a little scene or touch of whimsy within a drawing.
After experimenting with different mediums, acrylic paint became a firm favourite and with this came experimenting with colours and shapes and a love of abstract art.
Laura feels a freedom with this style where she can add shapes, patterns and textures and enjoy how each viewer sees something different in the same painting.
Of course, every now and then she loves to add that little detail, maybe a little bee or insect, or sometimes a little more abstract in the form of flowers, plants and landscapes.
