- Artist Statement:
"I have a very strong passion for the vivid imagery I find in nature. I take intense pleasure in creating canvases using these magnificent colors. I want people to realize the beauty surrounding them and to give them a piece of it-- to refresh or inspire their souls."
General History: The vast landscapes and wide-open spaces of Lura's native Canada were Lura’s first inspirations, and it became her life's work to bring her visions to others. Through the vivid use of color, Lura captures the often-unnoticed intensity of nature and brings it to startling life before her viewers.
Like many artists, Lura began with drawings in childhood. By the time she reached her twenties, she was utilizing the techniques of the Masters and impressing her contemporaries and teachers alike. In 1981, she sold out her first show in Toronto, Ontario Canada.
Moving to Vancouver British Columbia Canada in 1986, she found herself surrounded by a wealth of worthy subjects. Other than creating props for films, however (for example, she created a seven-foot likeness of Christ and a six-foot likeness of The Madonna for “We're No Angels” starring Sean Penn and Robert De Niro), her attention was absorbed in raising her four children.
In 1990, Lura relocated to Los Angeles. With the support of her husband of 30 years and two of her children still living at home, she returned to her career in 1998, and has been inspiring fans and patrons ever since.
