Moments in Time
Jean Laming
Contemporary artist Jean Laming has exhibited extensively throughout Australasia and the United States. Laming has worked as a teacher, art editor, set designer and psychotherapist. Her work often reflects issues within our society and acts as a voice for those that have been abused, tortured or bullied. Laming is known for her powerful figurative works which illuminate the deepest corners of the soul. Her rich colour palette and poignant compositions command the viewers full attention and contemplation. “Since my first exhibition when I was 15 years old, I have painted pictures about the people I know. Sometimes I have painted landscapes and abstracts but in general I feel a compulsion to paint about things that tell about everyday life.” - Jean Laming.
