Framed Laurie Fields Wall Art

Laurie Fields started her career as a textile designer in New York while she was a resident artist at Farmington Valley Arts Center in Connecticut. Although she is now a full-time painter, textiles and design continue to influence her work, lending complex texture and dimension to her abstract paintings. Fields combines collage with painting to create her well-known images. Scraps of roof tile, cellophane, paper and airbrush shadows add three dimensionality to her work. In many of her abstracts, beams of light flash from the center of the image, directing the eye to more subtle colors and forms. A graduate of the University of Hartford Art School, Connecticut, her work has been included in many corporate collections including IBM, Helmsley-Spear, Westinghouse, and Hyatt-Regency Hotels. She also has been featured in Cosmopolitan, Designer and Interior Designer magazines. She has won recognition and awards in five membership shows of the Art League of Alexandria, Virginia, and an exhibit of Connecticut Women Artists at the Slater Museum in Connecticut. She also shows at several galleries along the eastern coast of the United States.
