Laurie Meyer
Laurie Meyer has lived and painted in
Charleston, SC for over twenty years. Following careers in education and
corporate sales, Laurie devoted her life to her first love – painting
– in 1997. Life in Charleston has provided Laurie with countless subjects
and rich inspiration for her award winning paintings. Her frequent travels
have also given Laurie varied and interesting ideas for many of her works.
She paints with rich color and broad “brushy” strokes to express the unique
and recognizable softness in her work.
Art has also played a
role in community involvement for Laurie. She is the past president of
the Mt. Pleasant Artists Guild, serving two terms. Laurie also served
eight years on the Board of Directors of the Alzheimer’s Association and
originated the Art of Alzheimer’s exhibit, now under the auspices of the
Charleston Artist Guild. Laurie is currently the Program Director for
the Charleston Artist Guild. Laurie is also a member of Oil Painters
of America, Charleston Outdoor Painters Association, the SC Watercolor
Association, and the Portrait Society of America.
Laurie’s work has been
displayed in several galleries in the Charleston area. She currently paints
on commission – landscapes, architectural scenes, and portraits. You can
also find her paintings at the Wells Gallery in Charleston and Kiawah Island, and the Pinckney-Simmons Gallery in Beaufort, SC.
Laurie resides on Daniel
Island, SC with her creative and supportive husband and her Labradoodle studio
companion, Tug.
“I am thankful to be
blessed with the opportunity to do something I love. Painting has been
part of me since I was a child and I am still on the artistic journey
with no stops in sight. I love rich color and textural strokes painted
with gesture and spontaneity. I seek interesting designs with playful
shadow structures in my street scenes and rich natural colors in my landscapes.
Painting “en plein air” is my favorite choice for a natural studio, but
weather and time constraints mean I also paint in the indoor studio. Either
way, my challenge is to interpret what I see and express it in my unique
style.”
