Her work, celebrated for its profound simplicity and depth, has been showcased in solo exhibitions and numerous juried shows, including The Other Art Fair in Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles and the 61st Delta Exhibition at the Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts.
Laura’s artwork is part of esteemed corporate collections such as the CARTI Cancer Center, Haywood Hotel and among others. Her work has also garnered attention in several print publications, highlighting her unique approach and contribution to minimalist abstract art.
As a minimalist abstract artist, I draw profound inspiration from the shapes and forms of Earth’s landscapes—rock formations, bodies of water, and the intricate effects of erosion. Using acrylic and oil paints, along with charcoal and oil sticks, I aim to capture the dynamic transformations of the natural world. This ever-changing process fascinates me, compelling me to document these evolving forms.
My abstracted landscapes feature a subdued palette, with colors thoughtfully applied to convey proportion, distance, and shadows. This approach creates depth and dimension, emphasizing the inherent beauty and interconnectedness of Earth’s elements. Through my work, I strive to evoke the subtle yet profound harmony I see in nature, inviting viewers to reflect on the transient and enduring aspects of the world around us.
