Laurel Fulton Waters
Laurel Fulton Waters lives and works out of her studio in northern Vermont in an area known as the Champlain Valley, between the Green Mountains and Lake Champlain.
Drawing from a lifelong engagement with rural landscapes and the arts, Waters began her artistic career with a solo show of large scale oil paintings presented in tandem with a performance piece on awareness. Ten years later, her work has become an exploratory repertoire, unveiling how the subconscious plays a role in her perception of landscape. Compared to radical painter Thomas Hart Benton and popular printmaker Sabra Field, Laurel’s work compels by evoking an inward experience of monumental landscape. In original, commissioned, and giclee print form, her work is requested regularly by private residences and corporate collectors, and has also been featured at the notable Shelburne Museum (Shelburne, Vermont).
In 2016 she was commissioned by the Australian music festival Strawberry Fields to depict the Murray River for a large promotional banner. More recently, she was selected as the potential final artist for the YKK company’s employee calendar for all of Southeast Asia. Today, Waters is focusing on a new body of work in a beautiful collaborative studio space and while warmly welcoming opportunities for exposure across the USA and anywhere abroad.
