A WEST Devon artist will have her collection of butterfly paintings on display at Wimbledon this month.

Following her successful exhibition at the Canvas Gallery in Wimbledon last month, Mary Tavy artist Laure Bury will now be exhibition her collection at the Hospitality Suite in Fairway Village during the Wimbledon Tournament from Monday, June 20 to Sunday July 3.

Laure was born in Versailles, and lived in France, Mexico and Mallorca before settling in Mary Tavy more than 10 years ago.

Her paintings can be found in galleries in London, Exeter, Calstock and St Ives, with private collections across Mexico, USA, France, Italy, Spain and the UK.

Laure said: 'I create joyous and powerful colour compositions that evoke a depth of emotion. I work mainly in oils using the palette knife to build up layers of vibrant colours giving each painting a textured quality. I then use collage, sgraffito and the splashing techniques to integrate subtle and delicate symbolic butterflies and harmonious natural forms to balance the composition.

'My art is a tangible and universal expression of the triumph of the human spirit.'

Laure is now happy to be part of the Wimbledon Canvas Gallery and feels honoured to show her paintings among an eclectic mix of artists such as Andy Warhol, Damien Hirst and Lorenzo Quin.
