A native of Virginia, Laura Edwards trained as a painter at The University of North Carolina in Ashville, the art rich area of western North Carolina. She draws her creative experiences from working not only as a painter but also as a printmaker. She currently resides in Reston,Virginia and works from her studio at The Torpedo Factory Art Center in Alexandria.

Present paintings are executed in oils and are concerned with the importance of color and its influence on the subtle transitions in a space.
There is a place where the abstract takes on the image of the realistic; the painting within the painting, an evolving image developing as the composition grows. My paintings are about the illusion; the painting you see and the one you imagine.
