Laura Watson

Laura is an artist based in Whitley Bay in the North East of England.  As you can imagine, living by the coast gives her plenty of inspiration for her paintings! 

​Laura has lived by the sea nearly all of her life, and after a few years spent just creating paintings and drawings for friends and family, she decided to dedicate herself to her artwork alongside her employment.  She currently works for the NHS three days a week, and spends the other two days working on her artwork.

At the moment the majority of her work is inspired by the coastline running from Northumberland down through North Yorkshire. 

'​No two days are the same around here - I don't think I could ever get tired of living by the sea! We're so lucky to live in this part of the country.  There are so many beautiful places around here that I often feel like we're spoiled for choice!'
