Artist

Laurie Maun

Main banner for Laurie Maun, artist and textile designer exploring abstract forms, texture, and colour for Partnership Editions.

Laurie Maun’s multidisciplinary practice spans painting, drawing, printmaking, and textile design, exploring the dynamic relationships between texture, colour, and shape. Her abstract and observational works serve as a visual play on contact, conversation, and perception, focusing heavily on how colours meet and interact within a distinctive palette of luminous yet muted tones. Informing her bold organic shapes are everyday objects and the shifting shadows of evening light, which she abstracts to bring a sense of vitality and balance to her compositions.

Based in Manchester, Laurie earned a BA in Textile Design from Manchester Art School before relocating to London to train in couture embroidery. In 2015, she founded her own interiors brand producing hand-embroidered homeware, and the following year she was celebrated by The Barbican Museum in their "Barbican Maker" showcase. This pivotal career milestone prompted her to rediscover her love for painting, leading to successful fine art collections defined by warmth and colour.

“My paintings tend to reflect my environment, a place of balance and imbalance,” she notes. “Playfulness and connection with colour are the main threads that tie each piece together.”
