About the artist

Laura Monk's abstract paintings and drawings captivate the viewer with rich hues and bold linear forms. Her choice of mediums allow her to work energetically and fluidly. The transparent layers of media reveal the initial gestural marks and the undulating transformation of each work.

Monk graduated from the University of Florida Fine Arts College. Her work is in collections across the country and lives on the West coast of Florida surrounded by the tropical flora and fauna she loves.
