Artist's Statement

As splintering light fractions into thousands of colors, Laurie’s life has encompassed many careers, from runway model to graphic artist, from musician to singer, from teacher to artist. The greatest influence in her art is her faith and belief that her gift of creativity is from the Lord. With a degree in art, doors opened to eight years as head artist with an advertising agency; twenty-five years of teaching art has come full circle to top honors yearly at international art shows in photography, watercolor and oils.

Laurie is an associate member of WAOW and the Oil Painters of America, The Daily Painters, The Five Graces, The American Watercolor Society, and Daily Painters. In addition, she has exhibited with the Dallas Committee of the Fine Arts in Dallas. She loves working with oils, intense colors, a palette knife and brushes, boldly capturing the energy of colors and motion on the canvas.

Today Laurie’s work is collected internationally by both private collectors and corporations. Her artwork has been published in numerous magazine, newspapers and books. She is represented by Earthworks Art Gallery, New York; The Red Tree Gallery, California; The Rare Gallery Jackson Hole, Wyoming; Patina of Marble Falls, Texas; The Dutch Art Gallery, Texas; Our House Gallery, California; The Gordon Phillips Gallery, Texas; and the SR Gallery of Hong Kong.
