Amelie Laurice is a Filipina-American contemporary artist based in Southern California. She works between her studio in Santa Monica and residencies in the Southwest. Her background in the arts has developed through self-directed study, studio practice, and time spent working directly in the landscapes that inform her work. She works primarily in oil and gouache, often incorporating natural earth pigments responsibly gathered from places she visits.

As an artist, Laurice’s work explores the relationship between landscape, perception, and inner experience. Her soft palette reflects the skies, terrain, and changing light of the places she visits, while her compositions leave room for abstraction and personal interpretation.

Her international exhibition experience has expanded her practice into installation and in situ work, where she explores the ways nature and time can become part of the work itself. Through this process, she considers nature not simply as a subject, but as a way of understanding our relationship to the world around us.

Since 2021, Laurice has also been the founder and director of Dorado 806 Projects, an artist-run alternative art space in Santa Monica, California.
