“I once saw a painting by Matisse that was so beautiful, it moved me to tears. My perception of colors and beauty became so much more alive at that very moment. It was an utterly fantastic experience that changed my life. This is the magic of art.
I enjoy many forms of art: especially music. Invisible sound waves travel through space, and miraculously decorate my world. It’s a phenomenon that never ceases to amaze me. I love all kinds of music, especially jazz and its improvisational expression.
Improvisation is something I use often in painting. When it’s not planned, it’s fun to see where it goes and it stays exciting. It’s like going out to play when you were a kid…when you didn’t know what you were going to do, but you knew you’d have fun.”
Laura Nolan works are mostly abstract expressionistic in style. She works in acrylics, mixed media and collage and accepts commissions.
Although she has taken art courses at UCLA Extension with Selma Moskowitz, with Bob Stoller at Pierce College and with Rene Amitai at learning Tree University, she is for the most part – a self taught artist.
