As a student at Assumption College and Lesley University, Laurie Atchue studied art and experimented with a variety of mediums, but always concentrated the themes of her work around landscapes and flowers. The artists states, "My mother was an avid gardener and I grew up watching her plant and cultivate our yard into magnificent gardens. Often she would find me outside sketching her flowers." Atchue has engaged in the process of photographing flowers, and then seeks inspiration from the images for her paintings. By intensifying the color and form, Atchue intends to engage the viewer to a world within the blossom. Currently, Laurie is a Visual Art Teacher in the Worcester Public School System.
