I want my work to focus on the contours of the face and body, to leave the viewer leaning closer to view texture and vibrant colour. I've learned how composition can make or break a piece, how the lines and negative space can create a mood in itself. Faces are MOST intriguing--a simple angle of the camera or change in the viewer's perspective, and a person can look completely alien to their norm, becoming art. Human form is unique and beautiful, and should be closely celebrated. There is an intimate tie linking technical skill and passionate emotion in my work. If there is only ONE thing in this world that inspires me, something I understand completely, it is human emotion.
I work in basically any/every media, and enjoy experimentation. I'm experienced in everything from watercolours, oils, acrylics, pencil, airbrush, Photoshop, textiles, found objects, etc... I enjoy dabbing around anywhere and finding a way to make it work to your/my liking.
My first job ever was working as an airbrush artist for 3 years, where I learned a great deal about techniques, portraiture, networking, and sales. I have my own airbrush equipment now, and am constantly creating things on my own, and for those who purchase my work or want commissions done for them.
I attended the leading art college of Colorado, Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design, studying Illustration. I took what technical skills I learned there, and have grown most while I've been out of school in terms of my art. I enjoy fine art and illustration both, and am consistently learning new methods and finding endless inspiration on a daily basis from my mind's eye--the dreams I have, visions I see, and the music I thrive off. I'm a rather passionate and unique individual, here seeking other passionate individuals that I could potentially use in my artwork.
If you have any questions regarding, well, anything at all, shoot me an email! I'm a very humble being, just trying to make myself happy and create artwork to make you happy as well. I hope to bring to this culture, this society we live in, ideas and pieces that will open minds, and leave a legacy found in raw, real emotion.

Here are some examples of past works I've created:
I'm working on several pieces right now, too...some commissioned, and some for kicks. Let me know if you'd like any portraits done for you or someone you may know! I would also just appreciate you spreading kind word through the grapevine, allowing my existence as a growing artist to become more apparent to the public. Thank you!
Laura
