Laura Erekson

Laura was born in Oakland, California and currently lives and works in Salt Lake City, Utah. She received her BFA from Brigham Young University in drawing, painting, printmaking, and sculpture, as well as her MAT from George Mason University. Her printmaking and sculpture background heavily influence her current body of work. Using found objects in her process, her paintings are rich in texture, leaving behind color or fragments of material from the actual objects themselves. Often times her works appear in this natural and raw state, but when color is added it is predominantly in washes and rubbings of ink. Laura's work has been exhibited in Maryland, Virginia, Utah, New York City, and in the Smithsonian in Washington D.C.
