Biography: |
| Merrilyn Laursen was born and raised in Burnaby, BC but now lives and paints in Parksville on the beautiful east coast of Vancouver Island. It is here that she is inspired to paint the landscape scenes around every corner, as well as the scenes of her travels.
"Representational watercolour is my first love but my journey is now including acrylic painting and experimentation with abstract." |
Artist's Statement: |
| Artist's Statement:
"Trees and skies and lichen-speckled shale have always captured my attention but retirement gives one the time to really look and enjoy their beauty. And so with new eyes, I try to grab hold of their essence with paint.
If I had a bumper sticker, it would say 'I'D RATHER BE PAINTING.'" |
