Laurie Barmore

Welcome to my page!
Embracing the natural design in nature and a poetic sense of wonder, my work reflects my internal response to the world and the human experience. Painting intuitively, I combine organic form, texture, dynamic color, and gestural line to create images that have qualities of reality and yet arise from the deep unknown on the edge of awareness. I work primarily in acrylic, adding mixed media elements when needed to build up layers of rich textural surfaces.

I studied with Sir John Porter at Gavilan College, California, later developing my personal style with extensive practice and self-study.
I also have a BSN in Nursing and worked as a Critical Care Nurse for thirty years.
