Laura Iverson's fine art paintings (Buddhas/Meditation)


She have been painting most of her life. she is a native Californian and much of her inspiration comes from the beautiful natural landscape of the San Francisco Bay Area...the woods, the ocean, the rolling hills, the native wildflowers and wildlife. Even the surreal tree branches in the Zen series are often taken from the gnarled old oak trees. Other inspirations include teapots  and animals, especially cats. her fascination with the paranormal pops up from time to time in the ghost paintings.

Josephine Wall's fantasy paintings

Josephine Wall's fantasy paintings

An increasing demand for character windows, led her to experiment in this field using self adhesive lead and vitreous paint, to reproduce traditional lead-lights and many of her own designs. . 
Due to her individualistic, textured use of acrylic medium, she has been invited to demonstrate and lecture to local art circles.

Josephine is also an accomplished sculptor and has created a number of unique figurines. Using natural stone found locally, various modelling materials and semi-precious stones, she creates models that once painted, challenge the viewer to find where the stone ends and the figure begins.

    Josephine Wall's fantasy paintings 


Josephine Wall's paintings are mainly fantasies, influenced and inspired by the illustrative talents of Arthur Rackam, the surrealism of artists such as Magritte and Dali, and the romanticism of the pre-Raphaelites, which combined with her own imaginative ideas has led to a wide and varied range of work.
