LAURA SHERIDAN | FINE ARTIST

I’m currently working on a new painting series, Green. This series depicts my daughter’s journey of growing from a teenager into an adult seen through my eyes, she’s green in the world she walking into. Her love of being in nature among the lush surroundings and exploration of forest and foliage — inviting trails, swimming holes, rock faces informs her quest and desire for finding her way to varying terrains.

Meet Laura

I am an Asheville watercolor artist painting from my tree-house studio, where I also teach small classes and welcome studio visits by appointment. My work begins with color, observation, and a moment spent truly looking.

Studio visits and classes are by appointment. Learn more about Laura on the About page.

“There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it.”

— Martha Graham
