Laurie Baars, contemporary abstract artist, in her Seattle studio

Hello, I’m Laurie.

Seattle-based mixed media artist

I’m a friendly, adventurous soul who also craves peace and solitude. In my art practice, I create freely and intuitively while honoring my love of calm and space.

I respond to my materials - paint, paper, canvas, ink - moment by moment. Each painting session is like a mini-adventure and I’m never quite sure what the end result will be.

I hope that the joy and peace I find in creating carries through in my work. And that my paintings will help you create a space in your home that nourishes and inspires you.
