My name is Laurie Maves.
I am an emerging artist and live painter/performing artist based in Denver, Colorado. I work as 'green' as I possibly can, by recycling canvases, paint, collage materials and whatever else I can get my hands on. I also provide various artist services such as portrait comissions, mural work and most recently table and bar tops. My work historically has been influenced by Picasso and Gauguin, but more recently by Frida Kahlo and Basquiat. Most of my work is figurative in nature, but my deepeest focus has always been on color and texture. I use materials that build up the surface of my canvases so that the color can jump out at the viewer. I paint figures, faces, eyes, orbs, moons, landscapes and poppies.
My newest endeavor has been in the 'fashion' industry, by creating and selling one-of-a-kind handpainted recycled handbags. These are great little art items which I aim to make affordable for everyone. Currently, besides the number of local art shows and live music venues I am participating in the Denver Metro area, I'm getting ready for all those Democratic National Convention Visitors coming to Denver this season! Denver's Democratic Party Offices are located in the heart of Denver's Santa Fe Arts' District. Visitors looking for culture and local ARTWORK, as well as one of a kind purses, should stop by my ARTIST STUDIO located at 855 Studios, 855 Inca Street in Denver's Santa Fe Art's District.
Laurie Maves does not have any upcoming events scheduled at this time.
