Abstract Expressive Gardens with Laura Gee l Hospital Rooms Digital Art School

Laura Gee is a London based artist who creates paintings inspired by the ever-changing seasons, her art is a way of slowing down and elevating small everyday encounters of nature and joy. Laura's practice explores the notion that art just like nature can have a positive effect on our well being, and inspire positive feelings. Laura's paintings are a celebration of nature and being present to small moments of joy.
In this workshop we are going to paint an expressive abstract colourful garden, using mark making and abstract shapes, through repetition of marks and layering to create a unique joyful abstract garden on paper which celebrates nature.

Hospital Rooms is a London-based arts and mental health charity that radically transforms inpatient mental health settings with contemporary art.
While our usual work in mental health units is on hold, we have joined forces with internationally acclaimed artists to lead art workshops remotely from their studios and homes.
The artists leading these sessions have exhibited in many of the world's best galleries and have taught in some of the country's best art schools, including Royal Academy Schools, Royal College of Art and Central Saint Martins. Over the coming weeks they will introduce you to their creative practice, help guide you to create your own artworks and answer questions along the way.
These workshops are for inpatient mental health units, as well as people accessing community mental health services and the wider public.
So grab a sketchbook, dust off your pencils, and get creative using #DigitalArtSchool​​​​. We would love to see your artworks, so please share them with us using the hashtag,​ or by tagging us on Instagram (@_hospitalrooms) and Twitter (@hospital_rooms)!
This project has been made possible thanks to the generous support of Arts Council England and Winsor and Newton.
