Get Inspired: Meet Artist Laurie Maves

Contemporary artist Laurie Maves believes she is here on this planet to create art for her audience. She paints with an intuitive hand and brilliant color palette, allowing the paintings to come about organically – to paint themselves. Her most recent series, abstracts focusing on positive energy, light and a sense of healing are meant to be meditative in nature, reminders of “perfect wholeness in the universe,” depicted in part by the circle form, which recurs in Laurie’s paintings to represent an ancient symbol for life, seen in every culture. She often works motivational words into her imagery, sealing the thoughts into the message of the painting in hopes of inspiring those who view her work with positive energy and peace. www.lauriemavesart.com
