Laureen's initiation into acrylic painting began at University, under the guidance of Colin Johnson. However, most of her tuitition workshops has been in watercolours.
She has been greatly influenced by many of Australia's early artists, as well as watercolour artists at the 'Twenty Melbourne Painters Society'. She delights in the challenge of dynamic skies, wondrous seas, Australian beauty in landscapes, native flowers and animals. Her style leans towards realism and impressionism, with occasional contemporary play.
