Laurie DeCamillis

Laurie DeCamillis has a very interesting approach to her oil paintings. In an effort to be completely connected to what she is painting, she does something called painting plein air. This is where she is physically in the space that she is painting, whether it be a meadow, a forest, by a river or surrounded by magnolia trees and she completes each painting in one sitting. In this unique way of painting you can see how she captures what she is seeing, smelling and feeling by being in nature.
