Laurie MacFayden

“MacFayden’s paintings are all about gestures,
paint texture and explosions of colour.
Some have a post-impressionist landscape feel,
while others are full-on abstract expressionist in style.
She talks about her work ‘going where the colours
take (her),’ a sentiment that perfectly describes
the freshness of the paintings as well as their boundless
and infectious energy.”

— Gilbert Bouchard
