Laura Wade is an artist, originally from Cork, now residing in Mayo in the North West of Ireland. She graduated from ATU Galway with a first class honours and academic achievement award in 2014. She has spent the last decade developing her art practice. Her artwork has been widely exhibited and is featured in many private and public collections worldwide.

Intrigued by sighing silhouettes and quiet places, through her unique visual language, Laura explores themes of resilience, wonder and reconnection to our natural surroundings.

“There is a beautiful restraint in Laura Wade’s creative language. The diverse formal elements, including ink wash, silhouette, perforation, geometric overlay and collage are combined in ever-inventive and stimulating ways. Whilst shadows may be the drawings of the sun, geometry is the star of the human mind; in the shadow plays and overlays of Wade’s ink paintings the two converge.”
James Waller, artist & poet
