Hopkins, Laura
I was born into an artistic family. Drawing and painting have been a major part of my life always.
Within each person is the ideal that person aspires to. I seek this information when painting portraits, and work towards this ideal the subject has of self.
I work in all mediums. Using photography only for reference. My style is not traditional and I use ANYTHING at all to achieve the marks I need.
Each era brings with it its own imagery, but as I am of now and today, I prefer to reflect the era I exist in.
Art is a vision behind a closed door. Artists open this door and share this vision. The sense of light and colour is subtle. I endeavour to be aware of as much of life and living as possible.
