My work is an investigation into image and perception, touching on the ambiguity of texts - photographic, painterly or mnemonic, creating an encounter open to interpretation. I use glazing techniques, creating layers which capture a rich glow of light and a depth of colour. I am constantly drawn to light and strive to always be living in it.
My work has been exhibited across Canada and the United States and is included in many International collections. It has also lead me to work as an art consultant for over 15 years at a distinguished art consultancy firm as the art director. I led and contributed to numerous high-profile projects, such as: St. Regis Museum Hotel San Francisco; Four Seasons Hotels in Toronto, NY, Boston; W Hotel Tai Pei; St. Regis Hotel Resort Bal Harbour; and Printemps Department Store Paris.

"There is something so meditative about the act of painting. The simple gesture. The physicality and repetition. Mark making after mark making. Soft blendings. The viscosity and smell of the oil paint. It activates something in me. Shutting out the noise of the day. Painting is a necessary part of my life."

More About This Creator
Q&A
How do your pieces come to life? Tell us one interesting thing about your creative process?
"My artistic process is so integral to my work. For me, painting is a kind of meditation. I work mostly at night and I find that the quiet time with my thoughts, my paint and the repetitive blending and brush strokes is incredibly therapeutic. I like to think that this is also manifested in my artwork."
Laura WoodQ&A
What do you want people to do or feel when they encounter your creations?
"My work touches on memory, something brief and ephemeral. A small glimpse or window into a fleeting moment that’s come and gone. I love that each person brings something entirely different to my work and leaves with their own individual experience. Everyone’s experience to my work is as unique as their own memories."
