LAUREL
HIBBERT

My paintings depict the joy in simple daily life, strong, hardworking women and villages. I do not work from photos but draw on my imagination to create an idealized and whimsical world. My work is notable for its vibrant colour and its storytelling quality. Viewers often ask themselves what has just happened or what is about to happen? Most of the work has a joyful quality and is full of movement. Curiously, my characters have a Slavic appearance which surprises me since this is not my background. Painting is my joy and I hope others find that joy when they view my work.
