Twenty Twenty Art Gallery
 

Currently based deep in the rustic landscape of Co. Galway Laura graduated with a BA in Fine Art from WIT College of Art and Design in 1991. Originally from Cork Laura has been a member of the Backwater Artists Studios and The Art Hive Studios. In 1994 she took the opportunity to travel extensively throughout Australia and South East Asia before settling in Renvyle, Co Galway.

Laura creates her evocative paintings using an intricate process involving multiple layers of wax, plaster and paper. The detail is achieved by etching and carving into these materials. Oils are then applied using a number of different application techniques. This includes glazing with semi-transparent oil paints in order to accentuate the underlying colours. All paintings are box framed using wooden frames that are finished with either a lime wax finish or a light coloured stain.

Her work is included in both corporate and private collections in USA, Australia, Germany, UK, France and Ireland
