About

LAURA head shot from FB

Art is a vehicle for me to connect to something personal and meaningful.  From a very young age, I have had a passion and flare for fashion.  I create paintings with personality in which curiosity and mystery are key ingredients.  Being a devotee of black and white and the 50 shades in between, I am deeply inspired by the dramatic impact of light and dark as well as the interplay of curves and hard edges.  Sources of never-ending fascination, art and fashion serve as a mirror that reflects the society we inhabit and the values we hold.  My paintings portray refinement, sophistication, glamor, romance, elegance, and modernism.  Whether it’s a ball gown or a chic figure standing in a corner, my paintings present an interesting portrait of myself!
