Laura Fishman

Laura Fishman earned her BFA in Painting (cum laude) in her native United States from the State University of New York. It was here she studied with abstract expressionist Joop Sanders, friend and apprentice of Willem de Kooning, and with Hudson River Valley artist, Alex Martin. She continued her studies in textile design at the Fashion Institute of Technology, New York and earned her MA Fine Art at Middlesex University, London. She remains active with artist communities, exhibitions and associations in the United Kingdom, Europe and in the United States. Laura currently lives and works in London, is a GOLDEN Artist Eductor and is art curator at Stephens House & Gardens, Finchley.

Laura's artistic vision is to connect with the viewer through the language of colour and paint, and to convey her experiences. With bold brushstrokes, drips and pours, she intuitively works opaque and translucent layers to produce surfaces that are beautifully textured, sublimely multicoloured and visually engaging. Since her early devotion to painting, her primary motivation has been nature and the world around her. The most satisfying aspect of her artistic process is the time spent working out ideas and following her instincts. Laura gravitates toward the abstract in art because it allows her freedom to interpret the world she sees through her own creative lens.
