Blooming by Laura Ramirez
The paintings come from an ongoing study of the built environment and nature. Patterns that exist around us have always been my source of inspiration. Artist Laura Ramirez collects memories from her travels all over the world and translates the emotions and qualities of nature and human touch that she has experienced.

Collages of Thoughts
My recent body of work includes many collages influenced by nature and meaningful poems. Often poems are included to add mystery and reflection to the collage.

Art, in my opinion, must do more than just copy; I enjoy sharing my experiences with viewers and exploring interactions and their interpretations of the artwork. You may see and purchase my work at Artists of Northwest Arkansas ANA Gallery.
