“Wandering Girl,” 2014. This started out as a mood board, to try and organize my thoughts, but it turns out I have no idea how to do a mood board.
“Enough,” 2014. Monotyping is a fun art form because you never quite know how it’s going to turn out. I didn’t like this one at first, so I finger-painted over it while it was still wet.
“Nowhere,” 2014. I made these two monotypes days apart, and they accidentally came out matching.
“Satellites,” 2014. The roof leaks over my desk, and I took some of that rainwater and flicked it on this piece before the paint dried.
“Find Me,” 2014. Early in this trip, I felt like I was getting lost inside my own brain: I spent too much time thinking about my experiences, analyzing them, and trying to behave the right way.
“Monsoon,” 2014. I love the sun, and during the long, dark days of intense monsoon rains, I tried to imagine the sun coming through.
“Spell for Erin,” 2014. My BFF/co-conspirator/fake twin sister Erin and I are part of our own little witches’ coven. Because we’re apart for so long, I made this painting for her. On Halloween I did a spell on it and mailed it to her with some lavender and wax and incense. When it arrived she said it smelled really bad, but hopefully the magic worked.

Impressive!
wow… these are so beautiful. 6 is my favorite. The shades and images are combined so beautifully! It reminds me of something in space.
These are so lovely! I really like the unintentionally matching ones. The red is sort of like a moon.
Number 6 is my absolute favorite.
these are so beautiful! I especially love the third one, it reminds me of similar times when I’ve made things days/months apart and I suddenly see random parallels between them

Love these! Especially number 6 (coincidentally, my name is also Erin and I’m also into witchcraft)! All the colours and patterns are crazy gorgeous.
Woops, meant 7, though 6 is beautiful too.
I loved your “Find Me” piece, the color scheme and use of mixed media really helped convey this feeling of complicated thought processes. Your style in general is quite lovely, especially the way that you manage to combine fine lines and bright colors- that complex and beautiful style is so nice.
Oh my goodness these are soo beautiful. You are so creative, Laura!
So pretty! I really like 1 and 7.
these are amazing.inspiration for creating in 2015!!
These are crazy beautiful artworks. The inspired content here and on your website makes me long to break out a sketchbook and paint-vomit onto the pages! I love how you used the unconventional resource of rainwater from a leaky roof to create teardrop-esque splotches. Really cool stuff; thanks for sharing:-)

These are beautiful and creative, and inspire me to try paint-wax-pastel-raindrop splatter.
Woah woah woah! This is so inspiring and creative, I love it!!!
