When people look at Laurie’s work, they move into the painting by studying the subject, and then formulate their own story about the character. Drawn to her eyes, which are generally entrancing and intent, her work is collected by those also appreciating the depth of character in the subject of a painting.

 

Adams works with a variety of mediums. She works predominantly with oil in her painting but is also recognized for her mixed media and unique encaustic paintings. Wilmot continues by stating, “Whether a human figure or another of her favorite subjects, animals, the subtlety of her palette brings about a sense of contemplative peace.” This is also achieved in her sculpting. Human busts, figures reaching out and searching, and beloved animals, Adams’ style translates across all of her mediums.
