Laurel Lake McGuire, TWSA, IWS, WFWS

The artist works in a style of illuminated realism; that is, the image you retain in your memory or informed by emotion. She enjoys using layering techniques and enough detail to give her work a solid feel. Color and the play of light are important to her vision.
