“I am a minimalist; inspired by the visual world with a focus on the simple silhouette of the object."
Laura Welshans has always been a creator. She is now concentrating on abstracting landscapes and florals by focusing on the simple silhouette of the objects.
Her goal is to show how the organic nature of the Earth and the human-made world coexist through color and shape.
She has exhibited within numerous juried group shows including the 61st Delta Exhibition of the Arkansas Arts Center, Mena Art Gallery, and the Arkansas League of Artists Exhibitions. Her solo shows include ASU-Mountain Home Gallery, ACANSA Gallery, Argenta Branch Library, Community Bakery and the Arts Center of the Grand Prairie. Laura’s paintings are included in a collection at The Haywood Hotel in El Dorado, AR.
She has won two first place awards in Abstract for her “Villages of Provence” painting from Arkansas League of Artists Member Show and the BoldBrush Painting Competition. Most recently, third place in Abstract for her "Connectivity" painting in the 2020 ALA Member Show. Born in the St. Louis Metro Area, she currently resides in Little Rock, Arkansas with her husband and two cats who serve as her muses.
