Artist and musician Laura Trapnell

Paint on my fingers, it flows through my veins, I paint so to stop from going insane. A creature emerges, sinful or true? A woman appears, but is still and quite blue. There's something not right with the child underneath. There's a deer with sharp blood-soaked jagged teeth. A beautiful lily, it sprouts from her skin as I silence the screaming and laughter within. I also paint pets, or a rose for your mum to quiet the chatter; I paint for the fun. 

Pocket Full of Rye Laura will be exhibiting works in our opening exhibition at our art gallery in Melbourne. We are excited to show you more about this unique art space in Caulfield, where outsider artists can share their creations.
