“With an emphasis on texture, movement, and the play of light and shadow, Laura Clark’s work exudes a serene soulfulness.”

Prior to beginning her 25 year career as a professional artist, Laura lived for brief stints in Europe, Asia, and Africa. Her oversees travel and the memories of these experiences inspire her present-day work. Laura and her husband, Will, have been married for 22 years and raise their two children, William and Naomi, a short distance from the home where the artist grew up in Birmingham, Alabama. Laura’s paintings and sculptures are commissioned and collected nationwide.

Laura is an alumni of Auburn University’s Fine Art program with a concentration in painting, It was here that she honed her talent and discovered clay as a medium to express her artistic vision in three-dimensional form. Her continued study in Florence, Italy solidified a love of sculpture and art history, particularly, the Italian Renaissance. Fascinated by the elaborate draping characteristic of many marble sculptures; of that period, Laura seeks to convey a similar elegant fluidity in her forms.. Her signature ARTIFACTS series was inspired by Roman archaelogical fragments and influenced by her time living in Africa, teaching art to school children.

COMMISSIONS

Laura frequently works with interior designers to create custom works to compliment their clients’ homes or enhance commercial spaces. She particularly embraces the collaborative process between artist, designer and client and finds great joy in the personal relationships formed through commissions. “I want those I create for to be deeply connected to their finished piece. Accomplishing that requires a degree of knowingness between artist and collector. I consider a commission both a high calling and a humbling invitation.”
