Laurette Turner | Totally Artisan
Mixed Media Artist in Fort Walton Beach
Art is the balm for the spirit. Art is a window to the soul.
Nothing heals better than experiencing beautiful art, except the experience of creating it.
Meet Laurette
A self-taught artist for over 25 years, Laurette believes that creative expression is a gift—both to the artist and to those who experience it. Whether working with acrylics, mixed media, or assemblage, she strives to capture those magical moments that spark joy, beauty, and connection.
Artistic Style
Bursting with color and energy, Laurette’s work reflects a bold, impressionistic style that radiates joy and spontaneity. Drawing inspiration from all things beachy, fun, and bohemian, her art evokes sun-drenched days, ocean breezes, and the carefree spirit of coastal living. Each piece is a vibrant celebration of movement, texture, and color—inviting viewers to feel rather than just see, and to connect with the sense of freedom and lightheartedness that defines her creative world.
Philosophy and Inspiration
I believe that art should be a celebration of color, movement, and joy. My work is rooted in the freedom of impressionism—capturing not just what we see, but how it feels in the moment. I draw inspiration from the ocean’s endless horizons, the warmth of sun-drenched days, and the carefree rhythm of bohemian living. Each brushstroke is a reflection of energy, spontaneity, and play, blending vibrant palettes with bold textures to spark a sense of wonder.
For me, painting is about inviting others to step into a world where life is both lighthearted and deeply connected—where the colors dance, the waves hum, and the spirit of adventure never fades.
