I started private art classes at the age of 11 from local professional artist in the quiet rural town in east central Kansas where I was born and raised. I spent a year studying art at the University of Kansas then, after a transfer to play softball, graduated from Emporia State University in 1991 with a Bachelors of Fine Arts in Painting and a minor in Commercial Arts. That same year I moved to Texas to start my "life" and, unfortunately, placed my art career on the back burner. For the past 20 years, I rarely created art. I sold a piece or two privately. Kind of disappointing considering I used to paint nearly every day into the wee hours of the night, but when you are in college you've got that kind of time. Recently, I decided to make art a priority. I joined RAL at the beginning of 2010 and started drawing again. Now I am working with acrylics. In general, I'm doing all I can, with what I've got, from where I'm at, to live the life of my dreams. I hope you appreciate my imagery and enjoy my journey and evolution as an artist.

She continues to explore all the fascinating possibilities that the play of light and color can create. Contact: www.lauraantonyart.com
