Oil & charcoal · Tennessee

Laura Moore Scorey grew up in a small Tennessee town with a love of the outdoors. Her grandmother was an established artist and gallery owner — the first woman to own and operate an art gallery in Chattanooga.

Oil is her medium of choice, often layered with charcoal for interest and depth. A mother of three, Laura draws much of her inspiration from her children, along with fashion, dance, photography, film, light and shadow.

Seeing the world through their eyes and their innocence is truly magical. It has sparked the inner child in me that dreams big dreams and feels big feelings.
