Through the fluidity of liquid acrylic, watercolor, the delicate mark makings of pen and ink, and other mediums, Laura Stennett explores the ever-evolving landscapes of Texas, the Western U.S. and the Midwest. Mountains, sea, forest and desert are revealed with bursts of color, iridescent highlights and fine details, telling the many untold stories and treasures that occur within nature. These abstract landscapes represent either a glimpse of a moment or a slow change over time and represent a reflection of Stennett’s memories experienced in each geographical area.
