Bio
Laura Courtney was born in Australia and became a professional painter in her late 30’s after living in meditation ashrams around the world for 18 years and teaching meditation which set the spiritual foundation for her life.
The discipline, focus and distillation of ideas from those years proved invaluable in her journey as a painter, and when she started to paint 15 years ago the worked poured out of her like some deep well waiting to be tapped.
She studied traditional oil painting for 5 years in Sydney and when she went to visit her parents new home in Tasmania, the gothic, wild landscape set her course as a landscape painter. Her small works of the Tasmanian
landscape were quickly picked up by the prestigious Australian Galleries after being placed as a finalist in a distinguished art prize. She exhibited every year until moving to Europe, first to Rome and then Paris, where she attuned herself to the different light and impressions of the European milieu and thought much about where she wanted to enter that vast conversation as a painter. Laura also began using cold wax medium in her oil painting practice and her work significantly evolved from a representational landscape genre to increasingly more expressive and painterly abstraction.
