Laurie’s contemporary and process driven painting is largely inspired by the interactions of colour, shape, and application.

Her work is displayed in galleries throughout Ontario and she has been an active member of the art community for over twenty years, regularly participating in shows such as the Toronto Outdoor Art Fair and International Affordable Art Fairs with Spence Gallery. Laurie’s work is included in private and public collections across North America, Europe and Asia. She works from her studio in Guelph Ontario. 

Artist’s Statement 
Shape, colour, line, materiality of paint and the myriad ways that they can interact are the jumping off points for my painting explorations. I truly think of painting as a dedicated practice, one that I must return to as often as possible to feed my artistic curiosity and my soul. Endless fascination and dedication to remaining present in each moment fuel my quest to express what is, at first, intangible. 

"New Growth" was influenced by the view of my garden just outside of my studio. A wonderful tangle of new shoots and wildflowers appears every year in the spring, mostly in blue and violet hues. Pair that with the fresh yellows and greens and you have all the inspiration needed for a lush painting!
