Laura Elizabeth Agnes Powers

Multi Arts; Performing Arts; Visual Arts: Mixed Media, Murals, New Media/Technology, Painting, Performance Art, Performers and Writers

ARTIST’S STATEMENT As Homo sapiens, we have a great propensity to adapt and specialize in response to our conditions. The human body has incredible resilience and potential. Artistically and athletically, I explore the nature of change and the abstraction of survival. Even when our basic needs are covered, we remain unsatisfied. I am currently experimenting with the intersections of my painting, natural inclinations to the written word, and identity as a performer. I have been inspired by the opening scene of Shakespeare’s Timon of Athens, which includes dialogue between the characters of the Poet and Painter, expressed through theater where words and imagery come together. As a painter, I seek to capture a glimmering feeling of joy through my frenetic details and dewy skin texture. My personal blend of tighter rendering and heavy handed brush strokes creates natural focal points and variations in viewing distance, blending the logical with the emotional. My palette is of home, the dirt and stars and waters from whence we came. I emphasize the handiwork of God as is apparent in nature: the intricacy of the universe and our bodies, from the dawn of creation down to the atoms and laws of physics.

Trio Azul

Trio Azul also maintains an international presence outside of the United States. In May of 2017, members of the ensemble were invited to take part of the Young Artist Program at the Scotia Festival of Music, in Halifax Nova Scotia.
