Laura Lynn Lewis

Lubbock, Texas

With an early interest in drawing and painting, Laura had the good fortune to study portraiture with Glenna Goodacre. Then at the University of Texas at Austin, Laura majored in fine art. At the time, her interest was in printmaking. Later on, her focus was portraiture in pastel and oil. More recently, Laura has been very enthusiastic about landscapes of the high plains of Texas.  What I mean is...she's been downright excited about 'em. 



Laura is an award winning artist:

 

Laura's landscapes are hanging in the offices of the Supreme Court of Texas, State Representative Carl Isett, and Lubbock Mayor, David Miller
