Using only her memory and a hyper-vivid imagination, Laura Footes paints intuitively when conjuring complex, dreamy scenes from her life. There are no photographic source materials or preliminary sketches when working in the studio; instead, she relies on the raw emotions and mental images that spring forth when recalling her past. The artist’s paintings are rendered fluidly in oil paint to depict extremely personal spaces and scenes, all smartly softened and blurred to let viewers enter her life and mind.
