Artist
Laurie Carswell


I am an art educator who has stepped out of the classroom to pursue art-making.

I paint with torn paper, magazines, newspaper, handmade paper, cut paper...anything I can manipulate in layers. Ceramic sculpture is my background so dimension and texture naturally infuse my work.

Austin is my current muse and I enjoy capturing places in the city that radiate color, pattern, texture and activity. When I am not in the studio I love being outside spending time with my family on the lake boating, or long-distance trail running or supporting activities at my church.
