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.
