  • CLASS INFORMATION: 

    What to Wear: Art gets messy, so wear clothing suitable for an artist! It sometimes gets chilly in the studios, so an extra layer is recommended.

    What to Bring: Sawtooth will provide all materials and supplies needed for class. Students are welcome to bring a water bottle to stay hydrated and a snack to be eaten during a break.

     

    While parents and guardians are more than welcome to stay in the building, we kindly ask that you don't stay with your children during the class. We've found that this can sometimes hinder the creative process. 

     

    Parking: Lastly, metered parking is available on Marshall and Spruce Street and is free on evenings and weekends.

    Please note that face coverings are now optional on Sawtooth's campus, including in all studios. We ask that you remain respectful of all students and keep in mind that Sawtooth is an inclusive environment. We want everyone to feel supported, safe, and welcome on campus. They're available at our front desk if you need a disposable mask.

Morales, Laura

Laura Morales creates illustrative images of animals, plants, landscapes, etc. She designs her own art, as well as commissions work. She travels for art shows and galleries on the east coast displaying and selling her work.

Laura developed most of these pieces using an application of an ink drawing with a watercolor finish. She used the ink outline to create the image and the watercolor to define the form. The drawing portion allows the image to be seen clearly while the color gives life to the form.

During the creating process of this body of work, Laura recalled specific instances when She had been impacted by someone. Some pieces are a reflection of her personal story while several others have been inspired by children’s books that focus on character development.
