Laura Arenson

Visiting Artist / Workshops

Laura Arenson is an internationally-recognised artist, having exhibited in galleries and museums in New York, Washington D.C., Paris, Barcelona and London. Examples include the Royal Society of Portrait Painters Annual Exhibition, the Royal Institute of Oil Painters Annual Exhibition, the Royal Drawing Prize, the Museum of European Modern Art and the International Portraiture Competition at the Portrait Society of America.

Laura is fascinated in capturing humanity in its most poignant, fragile and raw form. She explores the beauty and complexity of the human body and the relationship between the surface layers of flesh, bones, muscles and scars with the emotions and lived experiences that lie beneath. Her wish is that through her art, she imbues her subjects with a voice to share their stories in a world they so often otherwise go unheard.
