Piece description from the artist
Living in Hawaii, I was recently prompted to create art with the color blue as a predominant element through photography and painting. The Maui fires on 8/8/23 during the Lion's gate portal, created devastation to our main art district in Lahaina. Among the surviving things were structures with blue roofs and blue vehicles. I created these artworks as a protective response and to point in the direction of healing and inspiration. This photograph I took on Halloween morning, 10/31/23, there were many lights in the sky to the East and to the West, the dramatic Blue Moon. The colors are actual and not enhanced.
Laura McClanahan's artwork is an exploration of natural patterns. Her main thesis is a study of water forms as a metaphor for thought patterns. Through photography and painting, Laura experiments with abstract imagery inspired by nature and her inner understanding of micro and macro patterns. Her images could be celestial or microscopic, this is her understanding of "as above, so below".
Laura is a graduate of Maryland Institute College of Art with an MFA degree in Studio Art. She uses experimental techniques with color darkroom photograms, video and large format printing. Laura continues to expand her explorations via paintings with resin and gemstones. Her painting series are well exhibited in New York City and at Art Fairs.
