Laura Hol
Maidenhead
I would like to be known for my use of colour and my sense of place. When I paint, I always try to show what the weather was like, how it felt to be there, what it means to me, or why I found it inspiring. I think it is important in this day of perfect paintings, and high definition photographs to show something else. If you want a perfect image, then taking a photo, or visiting it in real life is easier than it has ever been. A painting needs to be something different, something personal to me, and have soul. My paintings aren’t perfect, the windows don’t always line up, the trees aren’t totally accurate but I don’t think that is important for the overall effect. I want people to take something from the imperfections.
Art is a great therapy for me, it has been with me through the good times and the bad times and without it I would cope with life far less well than I do.
I hope my paintings can inspire you, or that you can enjoy them for whatever reason. I have been more than happy to create them for you!
Artistic background
I am mostly self taught but I have a background in architectural illustration and an architecture degree. I paint to excess, usually in the twilight hours when my work comes out at its best. I am always up for a challenge so if you have something in mind you would like me to paint then please get in touch.Quote
We seem to lose colour as we grow up, we are surrounded by it in our toys as children but then it disappears somewhere along the line. I think it is time to bring some brightness back.Interests
