"Bringing the Museum to You"

By permission of the artist, The Cyber Art Show is pleased to feature the first of three 12-piece Exhibitions of works by American contemporary Impressionist painter Laurel Daniel (born in 1956 in Racine, Wisconsin).

Laurel Daniel lives and works in Austin, Texas. She was born in 1956 in Racine, Wisconsin, and graduated with a studio art degree in 1979 from Wheaton College. After almost 20 years in the graphic design business, she returned to oil painting in 1999. Laurel now paints full time and teaches painting at the Contemporary Art School in Austin.

Laurel is drawn to nature’s many forms, but works primarily with images of the landscape. She is an avid plein air painter and her fieldwork both feeds and motivates her larger studio work. Whether she is working outside or in, Laurel paints to better understand and capture the nuance of changing light.

Laurel’s work is in many private and corporate collections; and has been published in PleinAir Magazine, American Art Collector Magazine and International Artist magazine. She is a Signature Member of the Outdoor Painters Society, a Signature Member of the American Women Artists, a member and past-president of Plein Air Austin, and an Associate Member of the Oil Painters of America.
