The Collage Collection
Hailed by the art industry as an innovator, Laurie Maitland, abstract contemporary artist, has evolved to be constantly one step ahead of her contemporaries producing soulful abstract subjects that evolve alongside her novels and current research interests.
Laurie Maitland was born in Portsmouth in 1969. Laurie spent the formative years of her childhood in the Cotswolds before moving to London.
Having always painted for pleasure, Laurie did her first professional exhibition in summer 1996 at Bournemouth outdoor art exhibition. Following the success of this, Laurie started selling her work through various galleries countrywide, at Covent Garden Craft market and through her own business ventures which went on to include owning and running three art galleries, a furniture design business and a fine art publishing company. Due to the increasing success as her own best selling artist, Laurie sold her business interests to concentrate on painting full time.
Distributed worldwide, Laurie's work became highly sought after. Shows such as the Affordable Art Fair and the London Art fair were often sell outs.
Laurie now lives in Devon, UK and is working on her first novel as well as painting and working on new designs. Laurie's love of nature and keen eye for interior design influences her work, with her best selling designs emulating the colours of the seasons: autumn leaves, winter neutrals and sandy tones.
Laurie's one-off originals are now highly collectable and we are very proud to be able to launch a new collection entitled ‘vintage collage collection’ at the Glasgow Art Fair 2010. Inspired by her current novel, set in the 1940s, her recent work mixes abstraction with vintage British nostalgia, paint with collage detail and sees Laurie experiment with a fresh colour palette inspired by the union jack. A love for retro magazines and fashions led Laurie to base her collection on vintage women.
