LauraBrowning
Bay Area, CA
Laura Browning is a painter, from San Mateo, CA. She moved to Long Beach, CA to pursue her studies in drawing and painting. After receiving her Bachelors Degree, she focused her painting career around creating custom murals and decorative finishes enabling her to work directly with her patrons. Recently, she and her husband returned to the Bay Area, where they are remodeling their Eichler house and Laura has shifted her focus back to painting on canvas. Currently Laura is represented by a few publishing companies, and her work can be found in various online shops, as well as in large stores such as Target, Bed Bath & Beyond, Kohls and JC Penny.
Throughout her career, Laura Browning has been a part of an interesting variety of art related fields which helped shape the artist she is today. She has worked for published artists, acting as the "ghost painter," the hand behind their work. By learning to match the style, color, and even brush stroke of the artist, she honed her skills of color matching and emulating many styles of painting. She taught art workshops for families at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, fusing art exhibits with hands on projects to enhance the museum experience, and art history education. She moved to Venice, Italy in 2001 and worked at the Guggenheim Museum, delving into the Italian culture and visual landscape. Throughout her travels around Europe, Scandinavia, Japan and the United States studying art and architecture, she gathered inspiration which she continues to use in her paintings.
Laura's life is inspired, she is always full of new ideas and embraces challenges.
