and Sumi-e RADIANT BEAMS 36”h x 24”w Chinese Brush Paint on Iwami White on Birch Gallery Panel, varnished with cold wax finish, Chinese inks and Chinese paints Radiant Beams captures the ethereal beauty of the Aurora Borealis sweeping across the vast Canadian night sky. At the heart of the scene stands a small log cabin, larger and more defined with its snow-covered roof glistening beneath the shimmering lights. Warm golden tones from its windows spill across the snow, a gentle counterpoint to the cool hues of the northern night. This welcoming glow draws the viewer inward, a beacon of comfort amid the serene expanse of wilderness. The cabin, though modest, becomes the emotional center of the composition, symbolizing warmth, endurance, and humanity’s quiet presence within nature’s grandeur. In the foreground, an obscured figure of a lone cross-country skier glides silently through the snow, their movement faint but perceptible. Their path curves away from the cabin, leaving delicate tracks that dissolve into light. The solitary skier adds a note of mystery and life, a reminder of human connection within this radiant solitude. Radiant Beams evokes a world where stillness and vitality coexist, and where nature’s performance speaks directly to the soul. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6170760e0f15172280da6128/1761494401909-7LHVR35CE2PT6VJGDMTM/Into_The_Realm_40x26_CBP_2025-laura-beaton-72_769.jpg Art Galleries - Chinese Brush Painting and Sumi-e INTO THE REALM 40”hx26”w Chinese Brush Painting on Iwami White (Japanese washi/ paper) on Birch Gallery Panel, varnished with cold wax finish, Chinese inks and Chinese paints Into the Realm is where 3 red-crowned cranes soar through a forest in a realm where myth, spirit, and time intertwine. In both Chinese and Japanese cultures, the crane is a sacred symbol of longevity, fidelity, and transcendence. Its flight is often seen as a passage between worlds; from birth to life, from union to love, and finally, from life to eternity. These three cranes embody the three vital stages of human existence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6170760e0f15172280da6128/1761494560301-PBRTKJCYXAJ08AZV11IO/The+Nobelman_CPB+30x24_2025_Laura-Beaton_72.jpg Art Galleries - Chinese Brush Painting and Sumi-e THE NOBLEMAN 30”hx24”w Chinese Brush Paint on Iwami White on Birch Gallery Panel, varnished cold wax finish, Chinese inks and Chinese paints In The Nobleman, a single red-crowned crane bows gracefully toward the forest as a gesture of deep respect and unity with nature. Behind him, two other cranes rise in silent flight, symbolizing the continuity of life. In Chinese and Japanese traditions, the red-crowned crane is revered as a messenger of longevity, fidelity, and transcendence. Here, the lead crane, portrayed as a nobleman, embodies dignity and humility; qualities that honor life’s three essential passages: birth, marriage, and death. The forest, veiled in luminous mist, represents both the mystery of existence and the harmony between worlds. Layers of Chinese ink and Japanese pigments merge seamlessly, reflecting the coexistence of two ancient cultures. The noble crane’s red lowered head signifies reverence; not submission but understanding of one’s place within the greater order of nature. Through quiet grace and restrained movement, The Nobleman invites contemplation on life’s fleeting beauty and enduring spirit. It is a meditation on respect between human and nature, cultures, and beginning and end all captured in the serene bow of a single, noble crane. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6170760e0f15172280da6128/f0119631-fa69-4c63-985a-c1d3f69fe71e/Silent+Night_30x22_CBP_2023_72_CC.jpg Art Galleries - Chinese Brush Painting and Sumi-e SILENT NIGHT 30”hx22”w; Chinese Ink on Washi (Japanese paper); on washi, 7/8” birch panel substrate, black floating frame Under the dancing ribbons of the aurora borealis, the northern world seems to pause, except for a faint shimmer of motion across the ice. In the foreground, a snow-laden evergreen stands quietly, its branches bowing beneath winter’s grace. Through drifting snow, two girls can be glimpsed skating on a frozen pond, their movements faint yet full of purpose. This is their Hockey Night in Canada; not the televised roar of arenas, but something purer, born of freedom and stillness. Their game unfolds under the vast sky, unscored and unseen, lit only by the warm glow of a nearby log cabin and the celestial fire above. The tree listens, and the aurora bears silent witness to this small miracle of motion and joy. In Silent Night, the familiar spirit of Hockey Night in Canada finds a gentler echo. It is one where play becomes communion, competition becomes connection, and the frozen north glows not with stadium lights, but with the shared warmth of life beneath the aurora’s embrace. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6170760e0f15172280da6128/1761494661670-23WBXCWMS66J6ML4USRE/When+Nature+Plays_CBP_36x24_birchpanel_Laura-Beaton_72.jpg Art Galleries - Chinese Brush Painting and Sumi-e WHEN NATURE PLAYS 36”h x 24”w Chinese Brush Paint on Iwami White on Birch Gallery Panel, varnished with cold wax finish, Chinese inks and Chinese paints The awe-inspiring spectacle of the Aurora Borealis as it performs its celestial symphony across the northern Canadian sky is captured by the artist. The painting is an impressionistic ode to light and stillness, where color and motion dance together in poetic harmony. The sky dominates and is alive with fluid ribbons of blue and purple; each hue blending softly into the next, suggesting the graceful movement of nature at play. In the foreground stands a solitary evergreen, its snow-laden branches bending gently under winter’s weight. The tree’s form, rendered in cool tones of grey, black and white, anchors the composition, a silent observer to the night’s performance. Further back, a small cabin rests among shadowed trees, a warm amber glow emanating from its windows—a whisper of human presence within the vast wilderness. Through delicate contrasts of motion and stillness, warmth and cold, When Nature Plays captures the dialogue between earth and sky, between solitude and belonging. It is not merely a depiction of the Northern Lights, but an emotional landscape and a reflection on wonder itself. The viewer is invited to pause, to listen, and to feel the music of the natural world, played not with instruments, but with light. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6170760e0f15172280da6128/1761494509950-HO9B3XHR402SFL410UM3/Theatre+in+the+Forest_30x24_CBP_Panel_2025_Laura-Beaton_72.jpg Art Galleries - Chinese Brush Painting and Sumi-e THEATRE IN THE FOREST 30”hx24”w Chinese Brush Paint on Iwami White on Birch Gallery Panel, varnished cold wax finish, Chinese inks and Chinese paints Here we see 6 red-crowned cranes gather beneath a canopy of mist and light, their movements unfolding like a silent performance in nature’s grand stage. Each crane embodies a role within the eternal play of life: innocence, devotion, vitality, union, wisdom, and release. The forest, alive with shifting tones of ink and pigment, becomes both audience and participant. Rendered in Chinese paints and inks, the landscape breathes harmony between two artistic traditions. This is a space where East and West, reality and dream, coexist in balance. The cranes play, bow, and rise; a dance that celebrates the rhythm of renewal and the dignity of life’s passing moments. In this quiet theatre, time itself seems to pause. Theatre in the Forest invites viewers to witness the beauty of coexistence between cultures, between beings, and within the cycles of nature. This is where every movement is a gesture of reverence, and every silence, an echo of eternity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6170760e0f15172280da6128/1761494526780-IKUR5M4KQ1TOY8H7OZCF/The+Proposal_30x24_CBP_Panel_2025_Laura_Beaton_72.jpg Art Galleries - Chinese Brush Painting and Sumi-e THE PROPOSAL 30”hx24”w Chinese Brush Paint on Iwami White on Birch Gallery Panel, varnished cold wax finish, Chinese inks and Chinese paints The Proposal includes 5 red-crowned cranes gathering within a mystical forest. At the heart of the scene, 2 cranes dance; their wings unfurled in a gesture of grace, devotion, and unity. This moment, tender yet eternal, captures the essence of love and the sacred transitions of life; themes deeply revered in both Chinese and Japanese traditions. The red-crowned crane, long celebrated as a symbol of fidelity and longevity, becomes here a messenger of promise. The two main cranes in the foreground embody a proposal not only of love, but of coexistence between cultures, between beings, and within the fragile harmony of nature. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6170760e0f15172280da6128/1761494482780-IAK8URBJGC3X9LHXGH7G/Serenade+of+Lights_36x24_CBP_Panel_2025_Laura-Beaton_72.jpg Art Galleries - Chinese Brush Painting and Sumi-e SERENADE OF LIGHTS 36”h x 24”w Chinese Brush Painting on Iwami White on Birch Gallery Panel, varnished with cold wax finish, Chinese inks and Chinese paints Serenade of Lights demonstrates the dialogue between nature and humanity unfolds in a quiet harmony of illumination. The aurora arcs across the sky in graceful motion, its shifting brilliance mirrored by the steady pulse of a distant lighthouse. One belongs to the earth’s ancient rhythm, the other to human ingenuity and yet together, they compose a shared language of light. A solitary evergreen stands in the foreground, draped in snow, witnessing this meeting of forces. Behind it, icebergs drift in slow procession, their surfaces catching and releasing the glow from both sky and shore. The landscape feels suspended between the natural and the constructed, a moment when the boundaries blur and light becomes a bridge rather than a divide. Serenade of Lights reflects on connection: the meeting of human creation and the natural world’s grandeur. It suggests that wonder need not separate us from what we observe; it can unite us, reminding us that both our lights (born of electricity or of the earth’s magnetic breath) sing the same enduring song of guidance, hope, and belonging. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6170760e0f15172280da6128/1761494454043-N2LJK0XJWNKMJDKMOH7O/The+Guardians_36x24_CBP_Panel_2025_Laura-Beaton_72.jpg Art Galleries - Chinese Brush Painting and Sumi-e THE GUARDIANS 36”h x 24”w Chinese Brush Painting on Iwami White on Birch Gallery Panel, varnished with cold wax finish, Chinese inks and Chinese paints In The Guardians, the frozen landscape hums with quiet vigilance. Beneath the flowing aurora, a solitary evergreen stands firm in the snow, its branches sheltering an owl that surveys the vast expanse below. Nearby, a great iceberg drifts close to shore, its immense form both fragile and seemingly immovable as a sentinel shaped by time and tide. At its edge, a lone seal rests upon a small fragment of broken ice. Each presence holds a role in this still communion. The aurora moves like breath made visible, guarding the sky with an ancient grace. The evergreen anchors the earth, its endurance a quiet defiance against the cold. The owl, alert and patient, becomes the watcher between worlds of air and land, movement and stillness. The iceberg, vast and grounded, carries the memory of oceans; the seal, gentle and transient, embodies life’s persistence amid the frozen expanse. And so the question lingers: who are the guardians? Is it the light that protects from above, or the beings that dwell beneath it? Perhaps guardianship belongs to all: the steadfast tree, the knowing owl, the wandering seal, and the ever-shifting sky. The Guardians is a reflection on coexistence and endurance, it is a vision of nature’s quiet keepers, bound by their shared silence and strength, watching over a world suspended between motion and stillness, fragility and grace. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6170760e0f15172280da6128/35094734-91bf-4a20-91b1-0cf975835a60/Qi+of+Water_30x30_72+copyright.jpg Art Galleries - Chinese Brush Painting and Sumi-e QI OF WATER 30x30 (Prints Available) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6170760e0f15172280da6128/6c539d85-31b5-4fed-a062-ca8b974f0da4/Framed_Spiritual_Woods_15x19_2021_72CC.jpg Art Galleries - Chinese Brush Painting and Sumi-e SPIRITUAL WOODS; Chinese Ink on Rice Paper; 15"x19" (Grey Wood Frame: 21"x25") Capturing the essence of Canada through ink.

This painting was created at the invitation of Toronto's Jacelyn Holmes (jazz musician and songwriter) in support of her October 2020 CD release. I was asked to listen to her entire CD and select a song that spoke to me and then create a piece of art that was representative of that song. The song that spoke to me most was Dovetailing, which turned out to be the title track of the CD. The process involved listening to the song and creating a feeling of one becoming more than one. One being magnetically drawn to another; feelings that could not be ignored. Look closely as the painting also includes the lyrics. https://www.laurabeaton.com/artgalleries/archive-laurabeaton-fine-art monthly 0.5 2025-01-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6170760e0f15172280da6128/0cab7e53-a753-42fd-9d59-281999a49058/Fallsview+6x6+2023_Chinese+Brush+Paint+72+Laura+Beaton.jpg Art Galleries - Archive Fallsview - Chinese Ink on Rice Paper https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6170760e0f15172280da6128/675477e1-8abe-4db3-925f-d8554ec82851/Rabbits_Chickadee_The+Witness_CBP_8x10_2023_72.jpg Art Galleries - Archive The Witness - Sumi-e on Washi https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6170760e0f15172280da6128/1675973367118-DBQPWFVY0LNHV7P4IDBT/Uninhibited_72cc_23x19.5_2023_Border.png Art Galleries - Archive Uninhibited, (Sold at the 17th Annual Art Auction at the Art Gallery of Mississauga) Japanese Paint on Washi (Japanese paper) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6170760e0f15172280da6128/a76ada20-08a2-4d46-8508-202a6259c699/WaterDragons_24x24_gallerycanvas.jpg Art Galleries - Archive Chinese Water Dragons 24x24 on Gallery Canvas Substrate (Available) - Original Artist Unknown and dates back 1,000+ years Did you know that a Chinese Water Dragon is comprised of 9 animal parts? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6170760e0f15172280da6128/74d1724d-992e-4c85-ac08-0682d3fd762e/Canada+Eh.jpg Art Galleries - Archive Canada, Eh!

The feelings of alienation, both literally and figuratively. Seeing the situation for what it is, acknowledging it, and moving on. Sometimes throughout life, we do not always 'fit in' with a situation, be it a group, team, acquaintances or even family. This painting is my way of saying it is OK not to fit in. Being a 'visitor' is perfectly fine. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6170760e0f15172280da6128/7a915a72-ad2d-41da-8f28-f6a445e8963f/Different+Yet+the+Same_18x18_Mixed+media+72__copyright.jpg Art Galleries - Mixed Media/Acrylics Different, Yet the Same; 18x18 Mixed Media (Available) Each culture is different, yet individuals’ underlying needs are the same.

Then I noticed the cameras. A LOT of cameras. I realized that my every move was monitored, inside and outside – everywhere I went 24/7. And, those were only the ones that I saw. I did not realize the impact of the cameras on my psyche until my return to Canada and my painting practice resumed. A subconscious theme throughout my paintings in this series has been the issue of surveillance. What started as a lark with the Scotch, led me to be cognizant of systemic and universal surveillance, even in North America. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6170760e0f15172280da6128/4ade660e-519f-4b65-bf3c-725587359e23/There+Is+More+Than+What+I+See_30x40_72.jpg Art Galleries - Mixed Media/Acrylics There Is More Than What I See; 31"hx41"w; Mixed Media Acrylic (Available) The third and final piece in the 'Beneath the Surface' series.

At first, the painting was dark, moody and quite frankly, somewhat depressing. It bothered me. Then I took a break from painting to consider all of the positives and benefits of self-isolation and the global pandemic. I elected to not fear the future, but to respect the situation and face it head on. Seeking the lighter side of things instead of the darker side. Am I worried? You betcha. Am I afraid? No way. ‘Into the Light’ reflects that transcendence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6170760e0f15172280da6128/1655240848216-PT6C21DQJI5MJHK5C8FK/Home%2BStar_12x12_MM_copyright.jpg Art Galleries - Mixed Media/Acrylics Eye Spy 12x12 Acrylic on Canvas (Available) My fascination with surveillance in our daily lives remains strong, from the obvious to not so obvious…. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6170760e0f15172280da6128/1655240934899-BP7IYMXTXZONLAR21A56/Invincible.jpg Art Galleries - Mixed Media/Acrylics Invincible 20x16 Mixed Media (Available) This painting is the 2nd part of the diptych, 'Bliss'. My intent is for inks/acrylics to create scenes of balance/harmony. I returned from China needing to create art that reflected my experiences. It was surreal that I found complete happiness as an artist while in China, yet didn’t feel it could be best expressed using traditional Chinese art forms. I incorporated these techniques into ‘Bliss’, as that is what I found in China and in myself. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6170760e0f15172280da6128/1655240597629-9SO578L12TE4J1WP1U8G/Birth%2BOf%2BAn%2BInner%2BWarrior_72_24x30_Bright_Copyright.jpg Art Galleries - Mixed Media/Acrylics Currently on display at Art à la carte - Legislative Assembly of Ontario. Birth of an Inner Warrior - Mixed Media on Canvas 25.5"h x 31.25"w (Available) From the first Covid lockdown in March 2020 to the first vaccinations in 2021, signs of inner chaos emerged; on both on a micro and macro level. By removing oneself physically and mentally from the chaos we are able to truly see what is important - what is significant for that moment, so that we may move forward. Birth of an Inner Warrior – Adaptation and evolution of simply seeing with clarity of mind, body and soul. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6170760e0f15172280da6128/8ba48064-ab26-4100-b0aa-a7407aa8f3e4/Behind+the+Smile_48x60_mixed+media_2021_72_copyright.jpg Art Galleries - Mixed Media/Acrylics Behind The Smile 48x60 Mixed Media on Canvas (Available) I am honoured to have been one of the artists commissioned to support Hope 24/7, an organization the provides support to victims of sexual violence. I love the colours of purple, yellow, pink, dark greens and blues on canvas. Yet on skin, those colours are anything but beautiful. I started this painting with the colours of bruises. Then I applied a ‘camouflage’ to the canvas as if applying a cosmetic foundation to one’s face. Ultimately, the finished piece is soft and depicts a smile while encompassing the spectrum of 'happy'. What has really gone into this smile? What has the person endured to get to this smile, at this point in time? That smile being the culmination of one's experiences.
