Laura Smith

Laura's background is one of contrast, born in India of a British Family, her formative years were spent in Africa, Malaysia, Indonesia and Europe. In later years she resided in The States but now calls Australia home.
A Visual Arts BA, Laura's work is displayed in collections worldwide and has been exhibited in many international galleries, including The Royal Academy, London.

When I am in my studio, I feel energised as I unravel the nature and mystery of what I want to reveal. My practice has its roots in portraiture, where observation and the search for something beyond physical likeness have always been central to my work. Increasingly, this way of seeing has found its way into mixed media, and landscape.
I work intuitively, building and uncovering layers of colour, texture and imagery. Whether I’m exploring a face, a landscape or something more abstract, I search for what lies beneath the surface. Traces of a story, character, memory and time. I want the work to reveal itself slowly allowing something unexpected to emerge through the process of creating.
