Representational oil paintings and illustrated children’s books A Gallery Website for [ice]Laura Grime[/ice]
Laura Grime is a Canadian artist and children’s author-illustrator. She paints representational oil paintings from her own photographs: local landscapes, cherished homes, flowers, portraits and scenes from her travels. She also takes part in events like the Elora Fergus Studio Tour.
Laura needed a website that felt like walking into a gallery, presenting each painting beautifully, with details collectors care about, and a home for her books.
The finished project
How we approached it Case Study: Let the Paintings [ice]Speak[/ice]
For an artist’s website, the design should frame the work, not compete with it:
Collections
Paintings are grouped into themed collections, such as “Morning Sunshine.”
Collector Details
Dimensions, medium and sold status are shown for every piece.
Load More Gallery
A smooth “Load More” gallery keeps pages fast while showing lots of work.
Books Page
A dedicated page for her illustrated children’s books.
A Simple Site for a Busy Artist
Artists should be painting, not wrestling with websites. Laura can add new paintings and mark them as sold herself in a few clicks.
