Thanks for visiting!
I am a landscape painter working in the tradition of the California impressionists, and I love capturing the unique light and atmosphere of the West. I paint primarily in oils on location which requires that I work efficiently to interpret the experience of being in a particular place in a particular fleeting moment.
Through painting I experience a pause in the midst of my often hectic life as mother, wife, and educator in the busy urban sprawl of Los Angeles. These moments are opportunities to see with new eyes, to find unexpected beauty, and to allow the unique gifts of this moment and this place to sink in deep and enrich my life. It is my hope that the work I create will provide occasion for you, too, to pause and reflect, to see the world with fresh eyes, and to appreciate the stunning gift of place and time.
All the best,
Laura
