“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, Edmonton Journal
west coast water poem
red sun blue sky
the Ma-Wink fallopian virgin warm stars reflecting on the outer
There was nowhere to go but everywhere
Too Much and Not Enough
there is freedom within
This is the night, what it does to you
suppose we suddenly wake up
wild ride

Relentless

“The whole point of making art is to touch the heart.
It should have breath and a pulse.
Whether it invokes feelings of joy, love, beauty,
sorrow, despair, even moral outrage…
art should make you feel something.”— Laurie MacFayden
“Thank you so much for creating the beautiful painting
I purchased from you this summer. Every day it brings
energy and movement and beauty into our home.”
