Laurie Yeates Adams is an artist, working in oils and concentrating on the figure. "My effort is to communicate the unique and exceptional inward nature of my subject. I attempt to express my creative concept by integrating a variety of abstract paint styles to include, thick to thin paint application, soft to hard edges, lost edges, blending, layering, scratching, subtracting and adding paint, subtracting and adding line, all the while asking the question, how can I convey through paint and and canvas the intrinsic qualities of this figure? It is my hope that my work speaks to the essence of the human form, exploring our connections, shared experiences, and that which is specifically unique to the individual before me."
