Nature Designs 4

Through these expressive paintings on ceramic plates, I have been exploring the variety of designs present in nature around me, from seeds, sticks, leaves, and flowers, to simple patens accruing in the elements such as ripples in water, and wind moving grasses in the sand and simple play of light. I have been also excited to explore the colors of the various clays just watering them down to a consistency of paint and applying them on a leather hard clay before a single firing. Although primarily designed as a wall decor all clay plates have been sealed with the food-grade liquid quartz and wax and can be used as a practical item to style your home.

Laura Vecmane is a contemporary visual artist who has been expressing herself through several classical and experimental creative media - painting, mixed media, ephemeral art, ceramics, and sculpture since 2002.
Laura Vecmane was born in Latvia. She feels blessed to have had such origins, but life has taken her to many other beautiful places.
The early years of her artistic career were spent in Europe, studying art in Latvia, Denmark, and Spain. The multicultural influences, impressions of wild Nature, radiant light, rich and vivid colors, and scenes of daily life have been significant inspirations for Laura’s art. While studying the contemporary, Laura finds herself to be an old-school soul of timeless art. Looking at many great famous artists has given her the confidence not to define herself by just one art medium.
Laura resides and works in Maleny, Sunshine Coast, where she explores the motives of native Australian fauna and flora, still life, interiors, and people through her paintings. Laura often travels for many creative adventures overseas and life on land has inspired her many collaborations with Nature, and she feels passionate about further developing her artistic skills as a sculptor and painter.
