Artist Statement
Peri-Laine works in a variety of mediums. Working initially from plein air sketches in ink and watercolour or oil pastel, she often uses these sketches as references along with photos to complete final paintings in the studio. Her focus for these paintings is to capture the colour, light and mood that originally attracted her to each scene.
