Biography
Heidi Laughton creates paintings of atmospheric, abstract landscapes which lend a calming presence to interior spaces. Through subtle combinations of colour and texture, or layers of translucent glazing to create depth, the landscapes appear both familiar and yet ethereal. Heidi aims to capture calming and atmospheric moments in the landscapes while also adding elements of surprise and abstractness where possible. It’s hoped these paintings bring a sense of peacefulness to the homes of collectors as well.
“ I love to start with an idea, and then manipulate the paints to see what they will produce, working intuitively. I might start with an impression of a place but the painting then goes on a journey of it’s own and I’m often surprised at where it ends up – sometimes totally different to the jumping off point. I’m particularly happy when I push the paints and mediums and they create magic in ways I didn’t expect and I like to keep those in, as they are unexpected moments of surprise”.
