Biography
Laurel V. Fry paints with light and imagination. She captures the essence and soul of her subjects and sets them free in oil on canvas. Her original inspiration was both V. M. Fry, her mother, and Clair V. Fry, her grandfather. Clair painted calendars and was the Art Director for Brown and Bigelow in Minneapolis and counted Maxfield Parrish and Norman Rockwell as friends and fellow painters. She apprenticed with her grandfather in her twenties. Ms. Fry then followed in their footsteps as a painter.
Laurel works her portraits in oil on canvas. She credits her mother and grandfather for the lessons learned in composition, value, and color but the style is her own. • Laurel and her grandfather were featured in a PBS television broadcast of "Georgia Digest" in 1989. • The Atlanta Journal Constitution wrote a feature article about Ms. Fry's work in the December 19, 2005 edition. • Listed in Cambridge Who's Who 2007-to present editions.

"Clint Watson has made it very easy for artists to bring their work to the public.
Obviously the internet is an important marketing component for the artist.
For a luddite like me FASO is the way to go.
There is always a support team available, we get to talk to real people to solve our web site needs.
I don't have the skills or time to develop a website. I should paint not spend time on a computer."
"A website is one of the most valuable tools to market paintings for artists of our time.
I recommend FASO to every artist who is still struggling with all the difficulties in creating and maintaining their website.
FASO is so well designed it will show your paintings professionally while still being extremely user friendly.
I feel bad for all the artists not using FASO yet."
"My art career has really been growing by leaps and bounds since I've been doing more with the website.
So thanks for dragging me into the high tech world kicking and screaming. Now all I need is a secretary"
"Your software is amazing! Thank you.
I just put a new painting onto my web site and it was so easy.
have made the job a piece of cake. Good job."
