Laura is a contemporary British abstract painter based in Cornwall. She studied at Birmingham University, where she graduated with a BA in Performing & Visual Arts, before completing an MA in Fine Art at Falmouth University.
Her lyrical paintings are like visual poems, drawing on memories, emotions and a deep sense of place. These influences often exist at the edge of consciousness, gradually emerging and taking shape as her work evolves.
Working intuitively, I build up and scrape back layers of oil paint, cold wax, collage and pigments, creating a sense of history within each painting. Lines, colours and textures emerge through this process, revealing traces of the layers beneath and allowing the work to develop organically.
My paintings invite the viewer to slow down and spend time with the work, offering a gentle space for reflection and contemplation.
Laura works from her studio near Falmouth, Cornwall, and has exhibited extensively across the UK and internationally, including exhibitions at Tate Modern and Tate St Ives.
