December already. The last twelve months have whizzed past – like a lot of folk I’ve only gotten used to writing 2025 and the time is nearly here to write 2026! Isn’t it crazy how time works? I’m really aware that nothing said above is very unique (actually laughing at myself writing that as the … More December
A few trips to Spain have taken up this month. Swimming in the Mediterranean, soaking up the sun, being surrounded by Gaudi and Miro and spending time with family. In between times, painting has been intense, walks have been needed to refocus and thoughts that go along with preparing for a solo exhibition have been on … More October

All of a sudden another month has appeared and it’s over half way through. The weather has been mixed so far but this week seems to be giving real signs of Spring. Big blue skies and daffodils appearing at the side of the roads and new growth making everything look greener than a month ago. … More March
January was a fast month – a full month of walking, beginning new paintings, (bugs), working on paintings that needed the last layers. In Orkney we’ve been given the gift of some wonderful days, the kind that the light does its special thing. On days like those there is no better place and I just … More January

Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to find me here (and on Socials) after my brief appearance on the Orkney episode of Landscape Artist of the Year. A peedie challenge for folk to find Laura Drever when my name was pronounced “Laura Driver” on National Television. Drever is a very common name … More New Collection(s) New Opportunities (New name?)
