Laurie Zeszut
Inspired
by the likes of Matisse, Picasso and Dufy, Laurie Zeszut is a
self-taught painter. She first began her career when a friend encouraged
her to attend a watercolor class after seeing the hand painted wrapping
paper Zeszut had created for a birthday present. She had to fit her
penchant for painting into the small bits of time that opened up in her
life as a mother who was also juggling a career. It may be the very
thing that has given Zeszut her confidently bold style.
Breaking the tendencies of the expected, gathering enough personality
and character to set the stage for a play, Zeszut uses her gouache paint
on black paper to startling effect. These are Alice in Wonderland
scenes, full of a lively and breathtakingly helter-skelter style that
can't help but light up a room.
