Describing her background as Scottish bagpipes and high tea Laura Beaton's creative practice fuses distinctly Asian cultural styles with her Canadian heritage to create an authenticity that is uniquely her own.

Join me as we take a deep dive on where Laura found her initial inspiration, how it has transformed over the years, and what continues to motivate her creative practice. This combination of techniques and painting skills has an intense structure rooted in perfectionism. 

How has Laura found her trajectory in the Art World? Has her distinguished skills resonated locally and in China? How has calligraphy played a part in her practice? Does she illustrate books with her Chinese brush paintings?
