About the Gallery

Laura Andrews

Lover of Oils and Pastels-

I developed a love for painting and drawing when I was ten years old.

After doing a foundation course at my local art school, I completed a B.A. degree at Kingston University in fashion and textile design, and worked as a commercial fashion designer for ten years.  I then traveled to Melbourne and ran a fashion company there for eight years, also painting, exhibiting and selling my  works at local galleries in my own time.

Since returning to London I have continued to paint in oils, and also developed a passion for using soft pastels.

Five Septembers ago I unfortunately had a stroke, and have had a lot more time to paint! I find it very therapeutic,and whenever I see flowers, a storm, the sea, or a sunny day, I put it down and hope I give my clients feel the same feelings I get when I see them.
