Laura Craig is a realist painter, specializing in acrylics and watercolors. A self-taught artist, Laura is a native of Virginia’s Eastern Shore but has called Fredericksburg home for the past twelve years. Her paintings are snapshots of life–quaint vignettes or narrative portraits–that elevate the everyday and familiar to the painterly and picturesque. Her work attempts to harmonize the calm with the energizing, the quiet with the vibrant, complexity with simplicity, and often has an undercurrent of nostalgia and optimism.
