Laura Muir
New Zealand Abstract Artist


Laura Muir NZ abstract artist
Artists Statement
I am inspired by the natural and constructed world around me and the people in it. My paintings arise from a focused visualisation - seeing the whole, the parts, shapes, patterns, amss and line - and then organising all these relationships on the picture plane. Acrylics, oils and pastels, either on their own or sometimes combined, are my media of choice. Whenever the viewer engages and enjoys the complexity of marks and colour that is the finished painting my pleasure in its creation is further enhanced.

Artists Biography
Laura has been painting over 10 years in oils and acrylics, and is also a textile artist. Her small wall hangings are collaged and stitched from hand dyed cottons and silks. In 2004 Laura graduated with a Diploma in Art and Creativity (Hons) from The Learning Connection in Wellington.
Laura begins a painting with an intention to work freely and spontaneously. By using a restricted palette with a focus on tonal variation, an abstract composition emerges. Her decisions during the process are responses to the shapes and colours on the canvas. With this approach, each painting leads the way, as it were, to its happy conclusion.
