Laura Wilk Watercolors

Laura's journey as an artist began over 30 years ago, evolving from fiber art to works on paper.  She paints primarily in watercolor, with the style of her paintings ranging from a looser wet-in-wet look, to highly representational.  Her work is known for its intense color, which is achieved by applying many layers, or glazes, of transparent paint, creating color that is deeply saturated, and glowing with light.

Most of her studies were done at New Haven's Creative Arts Workshop, although her path started in college with a minor in Art History from NYU.  She teaches watercolor classes at SCAN of Newtown, CT, as well as in her home studio.  Her paintings have received many awards and are included in numerous private and corporate collections.  Her work was recently published in Splash 12:  The Best of Watercolor/Celebrating Artistic Vision.

Laura is a member of the New Haven Paint and Clay Club, SCAN of Newtown, Easton Arts Council, and the Connecticut Watercolor Society.  She is a Signature Member of the New England Watercolor Society and the Kent Art Association.
