Laura Gammons is a resident of Coastal North Carolina, USA. She was exposed to art from an early age and encouraged by the other artists in her family to pursue her talents. Laura studied art throughout grade school and some in college before majoring in the environmental sciences and minoring in marketing. After several years as a “weekend artist,” Laura began drawing on past lessons, teaching herself, and exchanging ideas with other artists. Through this process she is recognized as an emerging artist and is very active in the local community. Laura has pieces in private collections throughout North America and Western Europe and embraces opportunities to build relationships and to share her love of art with people of many cultures. Laura works primarily with acrylics and mixed media and enjoys a bold use of color. “The world is so vibrant and beautiful if we only take the time to see.” says the artist, “I hope to bring light and levity to people’s lives.”
