Professional Summary
Laura Roberts is a painter based in Hamilton, Ontario. Her work is an ongoing exploration of the emotional and psychological conditions experienced through space, atmosphere and surface. Working primarily in oil, she uses land, distance and horizon as points of departure rather than subject matter. The paintings move between recognition and obscurity where space becomes unstable, depth remains partially inaccessible and meaning continues to shift.
