Art transforms the atmosphere of a place and can evoke deep emotional experiences for all of us.
The peace, calm, and hope I find in natural landscapes with big skies and open spaces leads me to paint. My hope is for you to be able to experience these beautiful emotions too.
Welcome! I’m Laura, a UK based abstract landscape painter, sharing my experiences of finding sanctuary and peace in the landscape during stormy seasons of life through the artworks I create in my peaceful home studio. I look for the tensions between order and chaos, drawing my inspiration from the transitions between different layers found within the landscape to create works that invite you to share in my experiences.
Creating these atmospheric and peaceful paintings I layer rich blues and greens, bleeding into soft pinks, seeking to capture and abstract the essence of spacious landscapes, seascapes and skies. In mapping out the layers and rhythms that create beauty in the midst of uncertainty, my aim is to capture the delicate balance holding up the world around us.
I rediscovered my creativity several years ago as I experienced motherhood for the first time. Painting became a way to process the challenges the changing seasons of life bring. My creative practice evolved over time as a way to express the deep intake of breath and inner settled-ness I encounter out in wild places.
My artwork has featured widely in exhibitions across the UK, at several prominent art fairs in London and Manchester, and I’m proud to say is held in private collections across the world. I continue to produce commissions for private clients and designers and create new self-initiated pieces to explore the boundaries of my practice.
You can find my available works both on my website and with my partner galleries around the UK:
The Biscuit Factory, Newcastle-Upon-Tyne
The Art Buyer, Thames Ditton
Cambridge Contemporary, Cambridge
IIF Gallery, London

“In Laura's canvases, the place where two colours meet is pure magic. Take a close look at how she blends and mixes paint, showing an incredible amount of restraint and balance.
I can't get enough!”
