ABOUT THE ARTWORK

My painting French Garden was inspired by a visit to the Jardin des Plantes in Coutances, France. Visiting the city for a weekend last summer, I wandered into the gardens one sunny afternoon. I loved the quiet of the garden and was drawn to the colourful flower beds lining the walking paths. I loved how the colours and shapes of the plant varieties interacted with one another. My visit to the Jardin des Plantes prompted a blog post, which led to an interview, about my painting and travel, with the Normandy newspaper, La Manche Libre!

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.
