February 6, 2015July 10, 2016 by Laura

Laura

This is my newest creation straight from my art journal (or sketch book as I call it most of the time). I had an orange-red page for quite some time, not sure what I was going to do with it. I had spent about a month with a back that…

Laura

Just finished with this page. I came around this quote today by Claude Monet and knew that it was the one to go with the page I started back on the 8th of this month (vastly different from the original quote I was going to use). I guess that's why…

This piece is titled Random Thoughts, it is a little more introspective than what I normally share. I have had so many different thoughts going thought my head lately, including new pieces I want to make. I think it was giving me a slight headache. This mixed media piece has…

Included in them was a photographer's proof sheet. I remembered that I wanted to make bookmarks out of them. But I decided to include some in…

Color Study: White

Laura

I finished this mixed media piece the other day. I started it because (for some unknown reason) I was thinking of a teacher I had in college. She said that nothing is ever "just" white. White will have an undertone, whether it be cool or warm - look closely and…

I found this charming old photo while exploring the Melrose District in Phoenix with a good friend of mine. I knew I wanted to create a piece out of it as soon as I saw it. It was inspired by the saying "She gathered friends as she gathered flowers in…

A Life Lived In Love

January 29, 2013September 27, 2013 by Laura

Laura

I wanted to create something different that what I have been doing lately. So I dusted off the paint brushes and brought out the acrylic paint, along with other fun stuff - shimmer spray, walnut inks, satin flowers, glitter spray, note cards and Sharpie. I have to say, I loved…
