Laurie McBride, Old Snowmass Watercolors I studied art at Stanford University and lived and studied in Paris where my godmother Marion Pike also lived. She was a fabulous artist and was always a great influence and teacher. For many years I studied with Anstis Lundy, where my great love of watercolor began. Through the years I have participated in numerous art classes at Anderson Ranch in Snowmass Village. I live on a beautiful cattle ranch in Old Snowmass, Colorado where I have a studio adjacent to my garden which is an inspiration for many of my paintings. We spend a good deal of time in Kenya with friends which inspires all the animals I paint. My paintings have been displayed and sold at Cafe Bernard, the Aspen Chapel, the Art Base in Basalt and Alpine Bank/Basalt. I was selected for the Annual Colorado Watercolor Show in 2011 and 2013. My paintings are in private collections throughout the U.S. |
