Event: Artists' Shuffle
Dates: 12 Oct 2013 - 12 Oct 2013
The Artists’ Shuffle is an international collaboration between 95 artists and Autumn Steam. She mailed out blank canvases and asked each artist to create a piece of art that she would later collaborate with. Once the collaboration was complete she created a book showcasing their work, artist's statements and her thoughts during the creation of each piece. The collection was shown in its entirety in Salem, Oregon and Los Angeles, California, with book signings during the scheduled receptions. This is a project of creating art, making connections, collaborating and ultimately collecting.

Biography
Inspired by pattern and colour in the natural world. Recent work explores bees, beetles and sealife through pen and ink drawings and oil painting. Abstract patterns in sliced lemons or red onions, seaside rocks or sand, Laura brings a new way of looking to commonplace things. Her background as a theatre designer brings drama and colour to her work.
Paintings are in private collections in Britain, Europe and North America.
