Laura Koppes - Art of Laura Koppes

I paint with acrylics and modify with other mediums, employing a variety of techniques in order to translate my vision onto canvas. Sometimes I simply start painting and continue until an image appears that I feel is meaningful. This requires letting go of any attempt to paint with an end result in mind. I always try to avoid replicating or directly representing any specific thing from nature; I rather aim to create an expression of my mind’s eye and the deeper, underlying emotions attached to that. My goal is to create organic images which invite the viewer to take an active role in the creative process to see in the painting the familiar places and emotions that they find meaningful.
