About Victoria Louise Morrison Laing

My Paintings and illustrations are a consequence of being actively encouraged to experiment with different concepts of art. Through four years excellent tuition at Duncan of Jordanstone College of art and design I gradually found my illustrative style.

During this time I was introduced to the skill of Linoleum cutting, a versatile expertise that enabled many of my designs to come to life. Many of my illustrations have been produced through experimenting with colour, texture and pattern using a combination of lino printing and painting.

I am strongly influenced by the natural scenery that surrounds me and draw inspiration from the effects of weather and seasonal changes; I try to use these influences to create the desired mood in all of my work.
I believe that colour and images and experience that we experience as children dictate our likes and desires that will last us a life time, that’s why I feel that colour and atmosphere are fundamentally important to my work especially where I am trying to create magical and ethereal quality.

My work and style are ever changing as my influences change, I continue to be inspired by the innocence of children’s minds and how magic can be created and allowed to grow a little more each time the paining is viewed.
All of my work whether landscape painting, seascape or illustration takes ordinary scenes, people , animals and nature and I add the magic I see in these ordinary scenes.

All of my work is available for sale and I am always more than happy to accept commissions to the client’s exact specifications. Please do not hesitate to contact me regarding any of my work.
