Welcome
to the studio of Laura Savoy Boyle.
You will see her passion for
horses reflected in much of her work. She is recognized as a
top equine artist, winning several awards over the years. Her
work reflects a deep appreciation and connection to the horse
as partner, teacher, healer.
You will also notice how versatile Laura is in media and subject
matter. Pets, to landscapes, to historical places and things.
Lately Laura has turned some heads in her unique approach to
using acrylic on watercolour paper. As an experienced watercolourist,
she was looking for a solution in maintaining the softness and
detail without losing intensity of colour.
High Spirits
Farm in Pontypool is where Laura and her husband call home. A
small century farmhouse cottage circa 1890s, animals, gardens
and nature provide endless inspiration for new work. Her studio
is open by appointment. Custom work always welcome.

Horses
are Lauras passion. She not only paints and carves these
elegant beauties but rides and teaches riding skills as well.
Visit her renovated Studio in the Barn and see her
excellent equine carvings, drawings and acrylic paintings.
Since 1987, Laura
has developed her work in a variety of subjects and media, but
horses are her greatest inspiration. Over 20 years of experience
in the horse community as a competitor, trainer, coach and owner,
is reflected in her work in exquisite detail. As a versatile
artist, she expresses the beauty of horses not only in graphite
pencil and acrylic, but also now in wood. Her debut for her wooden
horses at Buckhorn Fine Arts Festival this past summer was a
great success with one winning its class, and a relief sculpture
placing second in another. In a following competition three of
her pieces all finished in the top 5. Laura plans to continue
competing in carving shows and she hopes next year to move up
into the intermediate division. Entering competitions you
learn ways of refining and developing your work when you place
it against the work of your peers. Your work may be fantastic,
but there is always room for learning and improving on what you
are doing. I like competing in the carving shows, because not
only are you being judged on objective criteria for the most
part, but often the ones judging your work are top master carvers
themselves. |
