“As splintering light fractions into thousands
of colors, Laurie’s journey in life has encompassed many careers from runway
model to graphic artist, from musician to singer, from teacher to artist. She
believes the greatest influence in her life is the beauty God provides daily. A
degree in Art, eight years with an advertising agency, and twenty-five years
teaching art has come full circle to top honors yearly at international art
shows in oil, watercolor and photography. Viewing a Laurie Justus Pace painting
is a rich experience that drips with color and emotion. Her passionate works are alive with movement,
boldly created with a wide brush and a palette knife. She loves working with oils, dramatically
carving out the paint and transferring her energy to the canvas and ultimately
on to the viewer. Pareidolia is the name for what happens when Ms. Pace gazes
at her thickly applied strokes of oil paint and begins to visualize equine
forms. It's the same term used to
describe the phenomena of seeing animals in clouds or faces in the moon.
Laurie is a co-founder of four working groups
of artists, Contemporary Fine Art International, Artists of Texas, Daily
Painters of Texas and the Five Graces. She
is an associate member of WAOW and the Oil Painters of America, The American
Watercolor Society, Daily Painters, International Equine Artists and
Professional Published Fine Artists. She is a listed artist on askart.com and
artprice.com. She has exhibited and showed through out the world. Private
collectors, senators, ambassadors and large corporations select her work to
decorate their homes and offices.
Her artwork has been published and featured in
numerous magazines, newspapers and books. She has been a featured artist in
Western Art Collector, Appaloosa Journal, American Art Collector, the HITS on
the Hudson Pfizer $1 Million Grand Prix and in Cowboys and Indians. Her work
has been published on the covers of Appaloosa Journal, The Appaloosa Mountain
Directory, and The Sight Hound Magazine as well as several yearbooks,
publications and CD music covers.
You can find her paintings in The Rare Gallery,
Jackson Hole, Wyoming;
The Dutch Art Gallery, Dallas, Texas;
Earthworks Art Gallery, New York; SR Gallery, Hong Kong; Our House Gallery,
