Viewing a Laurie Justus Pace painting is a rich experience dripping with color and emotion.  Her passionate works are alive with movement, boldly created with a wide brush and a palette knife. She loves working with oils, dramatically carving out the paint and transferring her energy to the canvas and ultimately on to the viewer. “

Steve Sonnen

Whatever you paint, the way you tell your story with the paint, the colors, the brushes, the rags and the knives, gives it strength and presence. It is the gift from the Father, the true Spirit of the Paint.”

The Spirit of the Paint with Elle Pace

“I can’t wait for this new one to arrive. Your paintings make my heart so happy. You have such a special gift not only with what you are able to create, but with how you can make others feel as a result of what you created.”— Shannon W.

“Little did you realize that when you painted “Whirlwind” in the likeness of Elijah, where he had been told he would go to heaven in a whirlwind, you also captured on canvas the likeness of my beautiful equine companion Vista, his fiery spirit and bold personality that could make sparks fly. And like Elijah, Vista rose to heaven in a Whirlwind. I was destined to have this painting, it takes my breath away..”— Cindy Spiak-Selian

“It is amazing. Breathtakingly beautiful.” It is more than a painting. As Robert McKee once wrote...”A fine work of art has the power to silence the chatter in the mind and lift us to another place.” I am drawn in by its beauty. I can never thank you enough.”— Julie from New Hampshire

Dream It … Laurie can paint it.

“If you could say it in words, there would be no reason to paint.”

Edward Hopper

“What keeps my heart awake is colorful silence.”

― Claude Monet

Using art to tell the whole story…

“For as long as mankind has played a role in this world, artists have recorded that role. Every era in our history has been recorded, defined, refined, and enhanced by its artists… and today is no exception. Every second holds a lifetime of inspiration, and in our fast-paced world this means that capturing the essence of the era requires a veritable army, millions strong and wielding their chosen implements of creation. Right now there are untold numbers of artists channeling their situations, their conflicts, their passions, their grievances—their lives and the lives of those around them—into their work. Transforming their energy into what matters. Using their art to tell the whole story.”
