About
Laura Jefferson Art
Growing up in the Sussex countryside, I have always been happiest immersed in the natural world, and taking time to understand the other species we share our planet with, both domestic and wild.
As I’ve progressed as an artist, my work has naturally centred around these themes. I’m constantly in awe of the beauty of the natural landscapes around us, and always keen to share this experience through my art.
My greatest joy, however, is celebrating the animal world. Usually working with oils or acrylics, I attempt to highlight the profound impact animals can have on us. Overall, I hope to deepen our understanding of the individual nature and personality of each subject I paint.
9 days of Open Studios across Cornwall!
24th May to the 1st June, 11am - 5pm daily
I am SO excited about this event!! From the 24th of May to the 1st June, Artists across Cornwall will be opening their studio doors to the public, allowing a unique behind the scenes look into their work and process. This is a fantastic opportunity to meet and chat with some of your favourite artists across Cornwall, and also see some of their freshest work for sale in person.
You can see the map of all participating artists on the official website here.
There will also be physical brochures distributed throughout Cornwall nearer the time, to help you plan your route!
This is the first time I will be taking part, and I’m delighted to be able to base myself at our studio at Tregrove Farm, near Looe, where our Art Classes have been taking place throughout last year (Studio 203 on the Map).

This is going to be such a perfect location to be based for the full 9 days of the event (I plan to be open for the optional 3 days as well). I can’t wait to be working in this beautiful space, while meeting all of the visitors to the studio.
I will have a selection of existing work, and some brand new pieces fresh off the easel on display, which I’ll be creating especially for this event over the coming months. There will be everything from greetings cards and prints to original drawings, acrylics, pastels, and oil paintings, so something for everyone. I will be delighted to chat with you about my work and process, or just give you space to have a quiet browse of the artwork.
If you’ve been thinking about coming along to a class, this will also be a great opportunity to come along and see the space we work in, and find out a little more about what we get up to.
And of course, coffee, tea and cake will be on offer throughout, to enjoy while you take in the artwork and the beautiful views, with everything springing to life in (hopefully!) the May sunshine.

I'm completely inspired by the natural world around us, and most importantly the wildlife we share our planet with always draws my attention! My aim is to try and capture the individual characteristics of my chosen subject; their beauty, quirks and personalities.
