Laura Edwards is a contemporary abstract painter from St. Albert, Alberta, Canada. Her work is inspired by spending quiet, contemplative moments in the studio connecting with the slower side of our fast-paced modern world. Her pieces are created spontaneously and intuitively, unfolding and evolving as they progress. Laura’s materials are an integral part of her artistry; she uses natural earth pigments and non-toxic paint to incorporate earth-friendly, health-conscious practices into her process.
Laura’s eco-conscious art is a reflection of her values and a nod to her formal education. She completed a Bachelor of Science degree in Environmental and Conservation Science at the University of Alberta and pursued a career in environmental consulting in her early adulthood. After starting her family, her focus shifted to raising her children and tending to her home. During these years, she continued her education in the natural and dynamic sciences and obtained Holistic Nutrition and Homeopathy diplomas at the Hahnemann College for Heilkunst. Through her work and process, Laura continues to explore her connection to nature, creativity and simple, gentle, intentional living.
