Collection: Laural Lawless

Artist Statement

My Art has become an obsession, I won’t lie! I have experimented over the years with many different mediums and have found my passion in Acrylics. All of my works are one-of-a-kind originals and not available in prints. I love knowing that if you have invested in one of my pieces, it will never be replicated.

I’m a spontaneous painter, usually beginning with a brief idea that has a way of developing as I go. I choose a colour, and I lose myself in it. I don’t confine myself to a certain technique or structure, and slowly but surely, the textures, details and shapes begin to form. I’m a big believer that sometimes, the best stories are told through paint, and I envisage the viewer taking their time to ‘read’ the story, their eyes resting on something bright, something textured, something hidden. My favourite part of the entire process is adding those finishing touches that conclude the story.

Many artists have inspired me along the way, but the ones that stand out the most are Fred Williams, Sally Stokes, Lisa Morgan and Idris Murphy. They are my favourites!”

These days, when Laural and John and their dog Bobbie aren’t travelling around Australia in their motorhome, you’ll find Laural in her home studio painting new stories. You never know when inspiration will strike!
