Laura is a Chicago-based painter who, through an impressionistic style, aims to capture the essence of the natural world with bold, expressive brushstrokes. Her goal is to create visual experiences that foster a deep emotional connection with the environment, emphasizing its beauty and raw energy. Her process involves translating her landscape studies onto canvas, vintage linen, or archival paper. She uses environmentally friendly water-based oils to convey the visceral and immediate rhythms and textures of nature.
