❝ There is something so meditative for me about the act of painting itself.The simple gesture. The physicality and repetition of it. Mark making and mark making. Soft layers and blending. The viscosity and smell of the oils. It activates something in me. Shutting out the noise of the day. A necessary part of life for me, like breathing. ❞
LAURA WOOD
I am an artist living in Toronto, ON, Canada. I received my BFA in Fine Arts at the University of Waterloo.
In my work I investigate image and perception, touching on the ambiguity of texts - photographic, painterly or mnemonic, creating an encounter open to the viewer's own interpretation. I use glazing techniques, creating layers which capture a rich glow of light and a depth of colour. I am constantly drawn to light and strive to always be living in it.
My work has been exhibited across Canada, the United States, and is included in many International art collections.
