LAURA MENZIES
Laura Menzies is a contemporary British painter based in Cornwall.
Her lyrical paintings are like visual poems, inspired by memories, emotions and the coastline where she lives. These influences are located on the edge of consciousness, gradually seeping in as her work evolves. She paints intuitively, building up and scraping back layers of oil paint, cold wax, collage and pigments to create a history that reveals itself through the lines, colours and textures that slowly emerge. Her paintings ask the viewer to slow down and provide a gentle space for reflection and contemplation.
Menzies trained at Birmingham University, graduating with a BA in Performing & Visual Arts before gaining an MA in Fine Art from Falmouth University. She has exhibited extensively in the UK and internationally showing at Tate Modern & Tate St Ives.
