Print Version20/08/2015
We are pleased to announce the selection of Laura Douglas as the Clifford Gouldson Lawyers Artist-in-Residence.
Clifford Gouldson Director Danny Clifford said it was a difficult selection process with a wide range of artists from across the region applying to the program.
“In the end, Laura’s body of work, style and undeniable enthusiasm for the
opportunity stood out amongst a quality group of candidates,” he said.
Laura Douglas is a horse and landscape artist whose work has been recognised
amongst the elite of Australia’s racing fraternity.
Selected ponies from Laura's Line of Horses provided the
perfect backdrop for Myer Melbourne's 2011, 2012, 2013
& 2014 Spring Racing promotions as her works coupled with
coordinating ensembles in prominent showcases throughout the store.
The Victoria Racing Club previously commissioned Laura to create 200 miniature
canvases as special gifts for their guests at the Melbourne Cup Carnival
Launch.
Laura has also painted for the Waterhouse family, painting at Gai's stables and
privately for the family, painting the Cup winner Fiorente before, during and
after the Cup win.
Until recently, Laura lived with her husband and family on a property at
Mungallala about half way between Roma and Charleville. She has made a
“school change” and is currently living during school terms in Toowoomba so
their children can attend Toowoomba Preparatory School.
Laura has also successfully exhibited in numerous Regional Queensland
galleries, Brisbane’s White Canvas Gallery - Fortitude Valley,
and Sydney’s reputable Maunsell Wickes at Barry Stern Galleries in
Paddington.
“We are very much looking forward to the opportunity to see Laura at work and
for our team here at Clifford Gouldson to learn more about the artistic
process,” Danny said.
