ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This small painting (23.5 x 30 cm/9.3 x 11.8 in.), part of my Forest Series, was the first I made during my time in De Haan during the Spring of 2020. It is based on the daily walks I took in the forest-dune landscape of the Belgian coastal town. While making this painting I was focused on the curved organic shapes of the trees and the bright light of a sunny spring day. When I look at the painting now, I see this optimism but also the emptiness of the path and the shadows on the forest floor which remind me of the quiet of this time. A certificate of authenticity (COA) is included with the purchase of this painting.

Laura K. Smith (1989) is a Canadian-born landscape painter based near Antwerp, Belgium. From a young age, Laura drew and painted with her grandfather (‘Opa’) and was inspired by the Impressionist and Post-Impressionist art movements she learned about in school. In Canada, the United Kingdom, France and Belgium, Laura studied Studio Fine Arts, Art History, and Art Theory, and earned a Ph.D. in Literature in 2018. Laura has worked in academia and as an art consultant, gallery assistant, and researcher, for internationally renowned art institutions including the Victoria and Albert Museum and Colnaghi, the first commercial art gallery in the world. She is now pursuing her own painting practice professionally. Peaceful, joyful, strong, colourful, dream-like, and haunting are some of the ways in which Laura’s paintings have been described. Using acrylic on canvas, Laura paints colourful landscape scenes of her home country of Canada and her new home country of Belgium with the aim of sharing the joy that she experiences in the practice and appreciation of art. More recently, Laura has started working in watercolour. Complementary to her painting practice, Laura writes about her process and inspiration in her blog, available on her website.
