Laura Gilman’s art is a quiet echo of the world she’s lived in and the moments she’s experienced. Born in the serene flatlands of Down Holland, a region once known as the breadbasket of Liverpool, Gilman’s landscapes speak to the soul of a place that has long been overlooked by time. Her work channels the quiet beauty of nature’s transformation, with a focus on light and atmosphere reminiscent of Turner’s emotive landscapes.

“Art is a conversation between the artist and the world they see. It’s not just what’s there – it’s what’s felt, what’s remembered, what’s lost.”

Much like the regions she paints, Gilman’s art is rich in memories and personal history. Her canvases are drenched in the mist of nostalgia, portraying not just the land, but the essence of what it means to be from a place so deeply tied to the earth. Each brushstroke carries a sense of longing and reverence, as she captures the fleeting moments that often go unnoticed. Gilman’s work is a quiet rebellion against the speed and noise of modern life, an invitation to pause, reflect and immerse oneself in the beauty of a moment.

Having lived a life divided between city life and the countryside, Gilman’s dual identity is reflected in her paintings. Her works are as much a tribute to her roots as they are a meditation on the passage of time. With every piece, she invites the viewer to explore their own relationship with place, memory and the changing seasons.

Laura Gilman’s landscapes are not merely depictions of nature – they are meditations on the passage of time, the forgotten beauty of the everyday, and the intimate connection between memory and place. Each painting carries with it a story, a secret known only to the artist and the land she paints. For those who are willing to listen, Gilman’s art speaks of what’s left behind, of what’s been forgotten, and of what remains, quietly waiting to be rediscovered.
