Laurel’s signature, large abstract paintings are primarily an exploration of colour and mark making. They are often energetic and evocative, creating resonances which are personal and individual to the observer. Laurel’s canvases are non representational. She works intuitively, her paintings evolve and develop their own character. She builds layers of paint with colour and marks which begin to speak to her and make demands of her. She will rarely know where this will take her and it can be many months before a painting is resolved. There is an intensity about her compositions. Busy, crowded surfaces take your eye on a journey of discovery. Her paintings reveal themselves as you explore them. They are forever evolving, always offering up new interpretations.
