Introduction

Statement

Intensely coloured oil paintings inspired by natural forms.  

The works explore abstract patterns found in everyday objects - vegetables such as onions, lemons or pumpkins, seaside rocks or a full moon.

Parallel to this collection, Laura produces a diary of small paintings and photographs, a personal visual record of images and colours mostly inspired by travelling about London.
