Red Mermaid Studio is the shop hub for the works created by Laura Charlesworth. I was born and raised in Nottingham, England. When I was ten, my mother moved us to Grants Pass, Oregon. When we moved to America, I remember feeling overwhelmed with the change and how different everything was. I found solace in sketching, doodling, painting, exploring any kind of artistic outlet I could get my hands on. I loved researching the old masters and admiring their works. As I grew older, I continued to find comfort and happiness in self-expression and artistic creation. There was a space of many years where I put away my brushes and pencils and tried to focus on things I thought my attention was better spent on. As a result, I became a very unhappy person and felt very out of touch with who I was. Not too long ago, I gave up trying to fight against myself and again returned to my beloved painting. While I still classify myself as an amateur and a student of the arts, I am once again finding happiness and a sense of self in my brushes. Despite initially learning to paint with oils, my tool of choice currently is acrylics. I love playing with color and expression, growing through experiencing the free flow of pouring and fluid art, the looseness of knife painting, and the fine line detail from brushwork. It is through these methods that most of my works are created. I hope to one day pass on my love of art to my two young boys, who are already demonstrating a love for all things messy and colorful. If I can just figure out how to keep paint off everything I own (myself included), and pass that secret on, who knows what could happen! Red Mermaid Studio was born out of all of this, as a place to share my creations. I hope you like them!
