welcome to the art of 

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 return to my studio I feel energized as I unravel the nature and mystery of what I want to reveal. I paint quickly as I want to capture the energy and motion of my sitter without the visual impact. One of these will often be the basis of my final painting. It is important for me to show the essence of who my subject is, not just the physical reality. I want to portray a hidden meaning, perhaps a wry humour, a feeling of playfulness or a loving light, aspects I combine with the characterful quality of who they really are.
