about the artist

Laura Gee is a Walthamstow-based artist whose intuitive practice explores colour, emotion, and wellbeing through drawing and painting. Her expressive works reflect on motherhood, mental health, and the quiet joy of connecting with nature. Sketching from life in local parks, Laura transforms familiar scenes into vibrant, playful compositions that celebrate presence and renewal. Her art invites the viewer to pause and breathe – to rediscover the beauty of the everyday and the grounding comfort of the natural world.

the story

In “All the Flowers on Columbia Road”, Laura captures the colour and energy of a visit to Columbia Road flower market - a place where armfuls of blooms spill across stalls and into the street. Quick drawings made among the flowers later found their way back to the studio, where they were translated into paint and allowed to grow into this joyful composition.

Clusters of colour overlap and jostle across the surface, echoing the abundance of the market and the simple pleasure of choosing flowers. At its heart, the painting speaks to the act of buying blooms for yourself or for someone you love - a small but meaningful gesture of care. It’s a celebration of everyday love, held in colour, and of those moments when giving and receiving can be one and the same.
