This is me!
Hello, I'm Laura, a self-taught artist from Romsey, Hampshire with a lifelong passion for creativity.
Ever since I was a child I loved drawing, creating things whilst watching 'Art Attack' and I even received an A+ GCSE Grade in Art Textiles! WOW! But...I always thought it was so difficult to make a career in Art. I was good but scared to persue a job with a risk of zero earnings!
I eventually took evening classes and qualified as a Beauty Therapist in 2007. A successful career that I still continue today. Incorporating the qualification as a Microblading Artist.
My goal is to create captivating, modern Artwork. I like to embrace a variety of techniques to create stunning pieces that are inspired by my love of nature.
Specifically Coastal and Beach Scenery.
Combinations of Textured Coastal Abstract Art and Contemporary Paintings.
Calming and Neutral, luxury wall decor that makes a statement!
Art that promotes well-being. Increases positive mental health, reducing your daily stresses and anxiety.
Ultimately transforming any space into a room of total relaxation!
I also like to write and illustrate children's books. My books are also available from my website.
My goal is to, one day, become a Full Time Artist and work from a home studio and gain gallery representation!
My Influences
In 2025 I committed to developing my art, taking several abstract courses and then continuing to teach myself through experimentation with techniques, colour palettes, and texture. Over time, I discovered a style that truly resonates with me.
Nature is at the heart of my inspiration, often drawn from peaceful walks with my dogs and moments spent observing the world around me. The sea, sky, and raw elements of the earth strongly influence my work.
Through rich tones, layered textures, and expressive techniques, I aim to capture nature’s beauty on canvas.
My Artwork
My artwork is designed to promote calm, tranquillity, and a sense of connection, inviting viewers to pause, reflect, and immerse themselves in both visual depth and subtle, tactile detail. Drawing you closer, evoking your sense of touch!
