The Spirit of the Paint 2016

The Spirit of the Paint 2016 is the ninth edition of Laurie Justus Pace's Painted Ponies. This edition features artwork completed in 2014 and 2015. 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 that the greatest influence in her life is the beauty God provides daily. Constantly pushing the edge, Laurie presses in her work for discovery and celebration. Her compositions are fluid, with color and dimension setting the pace for a unique painting every time with a new journey. 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.
