What an event that was recently held at the Art Gallery of Mississauga. My painting, Uninhibited, sold as did every other painting in the auction. The auctioneer, Stephen Ranger, was incredibly entertaining. What a sense of humour.

I was joined by fellow artist and fine art photographer, Sherry Prenevost. We had fun reviewing and bidding on the many items for the silent auction portion of the event. Sponsors included Lakeview Village, Liuna Local 183 and The Glen Erin Inn.

My heartfelt thanks to all at the AGM and the many volunteers who made this event a tremendous success.

‘Uninhibited’ by Laura Beaton. Japanese paint on Washi (Japanese Paper). The unframed size is 24” h x 18.5 w”. This piece is framed under glass and measures 29” h x 24” w.

Laura Beaton

Laura Beaton is a Canadian visual fine artist working in Chinese Brush Painting, Sumi-e, mixed media, and Western contemporary abstraction. Her practice brings together Eastern brush traditions and expressive Western abstraction through colour, movement, atmosphere, and intuitive composition. Using earth tones, vibrant accents, organic forms, and layered gestures, she creates works that feel both grounded and expansive, inviting calm, reflection, and emotional connection.

 

Her abstract compositions often suggest natural rhythms, trees, landscapes, and structures of growth without relying on literal representation. Through a thoughtful balance of stillness and energy, soft tones and bold movement, Laura creates visual harmony across the surface. Her work reflects an ongoing interest in presence, coexistence, resilience, and the relationship between nature, culture, and personal experience.

Laura has exhibited in Canada and internationally, with work shown in galleries, museums, juried exhibitions, cultural institutions, and community arts initiatives. Her paintings are held in private, corporate, and public collections, including collections connected to Canada, China, and international patrons. In addition to her studio practice, she contributes as a speaker, juror, consultant supporting artists through mentorship, professional strategy, and community engagement.
