FANTASY & FUN. WHAT WE ALL WANT IN LIFE. SEE THE PRETTY PICTURES. THEN LOOK CLOSELY. Nestled in the landscape of each lyrical painting is a verse. Award-winning author & illustrator of children’s books, Laura the painter suggests that “life’s experience” is really one big story, a story filled with many smaller stories, or vignettes. Like a box waiting to be opened, a vignette can hold a surprise. It could be an answer. Or a question. A challenge or dilemma. It could be an event, an idea or just a feeling. A slice of life. This series of paintings, with images and a few words, portray these vignettes.
Collectors are first attracted to the charming and whimsical characters, color and composition. But soon, along with the verse, images realistic and surrealistic, are discovered. A chess piece, a checkerboard. Symbols of strategy. A number, a spade, a musical note... leaves resembling fish?
Wherever the chosen paths lead, every life will take on its own story, one for which each painting tells. With and through its story, each life will take on its own unique shape. Molded by the one who lives it. And each individual becomes the creator.
