Ann Laser - mixed media

About The Artist:

Ann, and energetic painter and printmaker, discovered her passion for art making after raising a family and spending twenty plus years as a psychotherapist. A native Arkansan, she attended the University of Arkansas where she was first exposed to formal art classes. She continued to study art with private instructors at various times throughout her life.

When she took her first printmaking workshop she was hooked. She fell in love with monoprinting. This is a unique process of printmaking which produces one-of-a-kind works on paper. These works reflect the freedom and spontaneity of the process.

Mixed media painting has also captured Ann. Through the use of color, form, and layering her work reflects a push-pull tension between the seen/unseen, surface/depth, conscious/unconscious. There is an up front, direct quality in the work that is combined with the suggestion of mysteries hidden within dimensions below the surface.

Artist Statement:

“Making art has been a way for me to find my unique voice. As I paint or print I reach deep within myself to explore, express, heal and play. In these processes I find true joy and I ‘come home to myself’. Sharing my art with others brings the process full circle. It is in this sharing of myself with the viewer that an authentic connection is made. I trust that through this connection in some unexplainable way our souls touch.”
