  • Maker's Monday // Laura Darling⁠⠀ @lauradarlingart⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Laura paints in oils to capture passing moments; a certain look, an illuminated field, the stillness of a room or the sense of being in a particular place at a particular time. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Increasingly drawn to abstract representation of her environment, she is inspired most by the nature around her in the South Downs - the layering of colour, texture and the stories that form our experience of the land.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ She also enjoys painting still life and portraiture.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ After studying Geography at Manchester University, Laura worked in marketing and publishing before becoming a freelance writer and author. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ She discovered her love of painting almost by chance, and now finds it all-consuming. She studies at the Art Academy in London and the New School of Art in Lewes and Brighton⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ #MakersMonday #SolDesign #SolDesignCollective #Sol_DesignCollective #fromtheheartofbrighton #brightonart #brightonartists #brightongallery #brightonandhove #brightonartist #brighton #brightongallery #artlovers #artlife #artoninstagram #art #artist #contemporaryart #ShonaMacdonaldArt #portraiture #makersgonnamake #artofbrighton #illustrator #brightonart #Brighton #lauradarlingart #lauradarling #lauradarlingartist #oilpainting #stilllife
