Laura Diane Cameron

Artist’s Statement

My work is an alchemical infusion of the landscapes of imagination, the mythic realms and the physical world. I create paintings of Goddesses and other powerful muses that are all about inspiration, healing and transformation. Symbolism about the Divine Feminine, gathered from various mythological and spiritual sources, both ancient and modern, is part of my search to understand where I am—where we all are–in the place of things in this emerging paradigm.

Painting and experimenting with different media keeps my visions constantly evolving. The materials I use range from ink wash and watercolor to oil/acrylic on canvas and paper and incorporating texture to my work, building up to a 3-D assemblage surface on the painting with materials such as acrylic gel mediums and pastes, nylon fiber, recycled clothing, beads and air-dry clay. The result is a painting that combines the realms of 2-D and 3-D art together in one piece.
