Laura Drever

Laura Drever was born in Kirkwall, Orkney. Laura studied Drawing and Painting at Edinburgh College of Art and currently works from her studio in Kirkwall.

For over twenty years Laura has been exploring the ever-changing nature of her native islands. By walking over and through the landscape the artist has come to a deep understanding of the fabric and form of the hills, valleys, and seascapes around her.  Her oil paintings are an interpretation of the landscape surrounding her.

While balancing family life and career, she has exhibited regularly throughout the UK, alongside taking an active role in Orkney’s creative community.  Laura is Chair of Soulisquoy Printmakers, delivers creative workshops and nurtures others through short residencies with locally based arts organisations.
