Biography

Laura Brink is originally from Vancouver, Canada and now lives and works in Santa Fe, New Mexico. She works in a few different mediums but always seems to gravitate back to Oil paints. She was first taught to paint in Oils at the Martineau Art School in Florence when she was a child and then again at Ringling College of Art in Sarasota where she received a BA in Illustration. Her painting inspiration comes mainly from realist and impressionistic art and her favorite genres are figurative, still life and landscape painting. Most recently Laura has found inspiration in the nature around where she lives. Spending some years exploring, studying and just being in the desert land she has found pieces and places that she has captured in her paintings.
