Laura Porteous
An underlying message of climate change runs within the changing dramatic glacial mountains depicted in the work of contemporary landscape painter Laura Porteous. “My intention is to ensure the mountains of the area are recognisable down to every rock-band, while stamping my projections on how the weather or climate presents them to me at any given time.”
Aside from her immediate surroundings, she also paints landscapes of destinations she believes require attention and awareness.
Laura is primarily a self-taught artist; however, she did gain formal training in printmaking while studying at Gray’s School of Art in Aberdeen.
Originally from Scotland, Laura now resides in the alpine village of Verbier, Switzerland surrounded by beautiful mountain vistas. She sells work to both local and international collectors and regularly exhibits her work in Switzerland. She is available for commission upon request.
