Untitled, Pastel on Cardboard, 12 x 9 inches (2017)

Laura is an artist based in Manhattan and in Amagansett, New York. Laura’s work is rooted in the study of light, the ways the properties of light interact with the subject. Utilizing her training as an optical scientist and physicist, she represents light through the intensity of her colors. The spectrum of light becomes apparent through shapes and layerings, which results in a balance of completeness and uneasiness.  Laura holds graduate degrees in physics, optics and engineering where she explores light-matter interactions of materials and of human disease specimens. She has published more than 40 papers on photonics and lasers. ​
