Artist Statement

As a Derbyshire artist with a lifelong affinity for Cornwall, Laura Grace is endlessly captivated by the interplay of light and movement in the natural world. Her artistic journey is a continuous exploration of these ephemeral qualities, seeking to capture and convey their elusive beauty through her artwork.

In her studio, Laura translates her outdoor experiences onto canvas using an alla prima approach to oil painting. This approach, characterised by its immediacy and spontaneous style, defines her loose and painterly artistic expression. Her studio work reflects the essence of her en plein air experiences, capturing the vibrancy and emotional depth of the natural world.
