An emerging artist, Laura rediscovered her childhood love of painting in 2008 and has been busy producing beautiful original pieces in oils since.
2009 saw Laura's debut at the Society of Equestrian Artists Annual Exhibition (Mall Galleries London), at which she was awarded the Ingleton-Beer Associates Prize for best depiction of horse and rider. In 2011 she was awarded The Eggesford Studio Prize for the best piece of work by an artist under 35, at the same exhibition. In 2012 Laura was proud to be promoted within the Society of Equestrian Artists to become an Associate member.
Under the tuition of renowned equestrian painter Malcolm Coward, Laura has developed a real passion for painting horses from life outdoors and increasingly looks to her oil sketches to help support her work back in the studio.
Based in Lutterworth, Leicestershire, Laura lives with her husband, their two young sons, and dogs.
