Laury Vaden - Just Laury
I have always been surrounded by art, and it was an influence in my formative years. I grew up in a home where the walls were filled with paintings and the shelves filled with beautiful objects. Some of my parents’ closest friends were artists.
I am a painter, quilter, weaver, spinner, computer artist, tatter, knitter, fabric designer, jewelry designer etc. My work is as diverse as the media I work in. I love to learn new techniques and new ways of creating beauty. I am entranced and amazed by the uniqueness of each media/technique. I love texture and color.
Most of my structured art training happened after high school. While my degrees are in computer science, I focused on art in both my undergraduate and graduate work. Throughout my adult life, I have continued to take classes in various techniques to enlarge my portfolio. My work has also been part of juried gallery shows and festivals here in NJ.
