Laura Cardenas

Hello! My name is Laura Cardenas.

I’ve been drawing longer than I can remember. I live in a small town named called Torreon (Northeastern Mexico) and have had a number of local exhibitions. I enjoy working in acrylic paint and find that it is a versatile medium and sympathetic to my way of working. Fascinated by texture, color and patterns I've followed my professional training by self acknowledgement, experimentation and search of new contemporary techniques.

Nowadays, I am running an art workshop based in experimental art, which i really enjoy!
