Artist Bio Lauri Ansell
Lauri Ansell, celebrated Canadian artist based in Cold Lake, Alberta, is a self-taught painter, poet, author, and naturalist whose lifelong passion for creativity has shaped a vibrant artistic voice. Lauri’s appetite for art emerged early—she began painting at just around 11 years old—transforming her childhood impressions of nature into imaginative, emotionally charged canvases.
Her work is deeply rooted in the natural world and reflects her profound connection as a naturalist. Rich in organic forms, asymmetry, and subtle darkness, each piece captures the mysterious interplay between human poetic sensibility and the environment
