Laura Shull Art

I recently made the decision to leave the studio I was renting for the last 4.5 years, and move my practice back home.

While I loved the energy of my old studio and having the opportunity to meet so many lovely people at open houses, I came to realize that I thrive best in quiet, intimate spaces where I can focus deeply on my craft.

I’m trying to make it a habit to attend figure drawing groups so I don’t spiral into absolute hermitude, and I’m going to have to make an effort to remember that fresh air and other people are just as important as getting my brush strokes just right!

It’s been a refreshing change of pace getting my little corner just right and getting valuable feedback from my cats while I work. Here’s to reassessing and listening to what your gut tells you.

It’s been a while since I’ve shared something here, so I wanted to catch up and show you the details of my contribution to the upcoming Passport show.

When I first thought about the theme, I imagined places I’ve traveled to and places I’d love to see one day, but I kept coming back to the idea of capturing that moment when your mind starts to drift somewhere else entirely. Most of my traveling happens that way… while staring off into space, or when I close my eyes to fall asleep.

The Passport group runs April 17th to May 10th

4 New Small Originals Now Available! 🖼️🎀✨

These are some of the brightest paintings I’ve ever made! I think painting in brighter light for the last few years has something to do with it, and also just a desire to create happy little moments of escapism.

You can see all 4 in my shop, listed under “Small Originals”

A few of you asked if there would be prints of Landlocked… and they’re finally here! Available on both paper and canvas 🐚🫧

All of the prints in the Paper Prints and Canvas Prints sections of my shop are produced by a fine art print shop and take about 3–7 business days to print, plus 2–7 business days for shipping.

Prints in my new Studio Quick Print section are printed by me on 8.5”×11” paper and ship within 2–3 business days, with 3–5 business days for delivery.
