Ian Laurie (b1933)

Laurie is a self-taught artist originally from Scotland, who moved to Cornwall in the 1990’s. He began his own career with sketching which became etching, and then progressed to creating etchings in limited editions.  During the 1970s and 80s his primary markets were Liberty’s and the Medici Gallery in London.

He and his wife Mona opened a small studio gallery on the square in Newlyn in the early 1990’s, where he continued to show his own work and also to exhibit work for others. He has consistently shown work of high quality, primarily of the human figure and of scenic landscape views of Cornwall, in mixed shows in West Cornwall, following a major solo show in Penzance in 1989.
