Laura Stevens moved to Derbyshire in1997 and was immediately inspired by the richly diverse and beautiful landscapes that starkly contrasted with the rolling green hills of the south coast were she had grown up. Having experimented with many mediums she found textiles to be ideally suited to the complexity of textures of her new environment and inspired  her to develop new techniques and a unique style all of her own. A fascinating exploration of colour and texture, evoking real emotions.

Now married with two children and living in Ashbourne, Laura divides her time between caring for a young family and her artwork. Exhibiting regularly locally, her work can also be viewed privately by appointment at her home in Ashbourne.
