Profile
Laurie Weller teaches watercolor and printmaking courses and has been a member of the faculty since 1988.

Artwork
Weller has collected leaves and shells from streets and beaches, from which she did prisma color pencil drawings of these objects as reference for future shaped supports in watercolor. The emblematic character of the flower and shell forms which she abstracts from appear anxious to change their shapes, or even transpose themselves from the vegetable world into something more mechanical.
