Hi! I'm a girl. My name is Laura. I like a lot of things.
I'm a freelance artist -specializing in painting and other 2D media- currently living and working in the North-East of England. I've done a lot of work in areas involving arts therapies -both individual tutoring & group workshops with elderly/mentally ill/learning disabled clients mainly. Been involved in running workshops on things such as textile design/traditional rug making, drawing & painting, kite making/design & ceramics. I've had previous commissions for places such as local NHS hospitals (where I've worked with patients on a number of occasions as part of residencies in various units/practices/care homes; including at one point designing/painting a 6ft square piece -of my own- based on biological imagery, commissioned by one hospital to hang in the main foyer/reception), a new Arts Centre (working in steel -welding etc- in collaboration with a few other local artists, in order to produce two metal sculptures for the centres opening) and -one of my favourites- a site-specific commission for a series of paintings, at the end of a fairly long residency at Dance City in Newcastle; where I worked with dance students in order to get an idea of the atmosphere of the place, aswell as just the architecture etc... was really sound -and I got to work in neons, lol. Have had work shown in quite a few exhibitions too, including other site-specific & outdoor works, and shows in warehouses, among other things. I've also done a lot of poster/flyer & cd cover design for various events/peoples.
I love all sorts of different music, including hip-hop/soul, rock/indie, reggae/world music, jazz/funk, d&b/jungle, breakbeat/electro/rave and breakcore/raggacore (etc etc... lol), but my favourite artist -if I had to choose (& I wouldn't want to!)- is John Frusciante, just cos I love his solo work so much. Among other things I really enjoy reading and writing poetry, hand-making bags, toys and jewellery, customizing -and since recently making- clothing, photography, travel, camping -especially at festivals, socializing and helping out my partner with his club nights (he's a DJ/Producer & Sculptor), I also do the artwork/promo for Spazmango (-shiny new profile up now, on me top friends. Word). I consider myself as a very friendly, sociable person but at the same time I can be pretty shy -but wtf, no-one's perfect!
