"Be it PEN or BRUSH, my CALLING as an artist
is to be a VOICE for OPTIMISM."

Laura Loving’s paintings cultivate a space of joyful energy in every room they occupy. Her work hangs in homes and businesses around the world. Laura describes her work: “I exaggerate color and shape to create art that is humorous, alive and uplifting. The evolution of my style has its roots in American Folk and Pop Art. Having lived and worked in Nice for two years, the rich artistic heritage of the French Riviera has also had a strong effect on my work.” 

Born in Charlotte and raised in Atlanta, Laura and all her southern charm have been raising the hospitality and happiness quotient of Gotham City for over 20 years.

 

Laura’s exceptional work has not gone unrecognized. Her work has been featured in Saks Fifth Avenue’s Spotlight on Art and Country Living Magazine’s Fairs in Atlanta and Rhinebeck. Laura received commissions to create the artwork for the Fall Cabaret Convention of Jazz at Lincoln Center and two murals for Tony Dapolito Recreation Center in Greenwich Village. Microsoft hired Laura to create a temporary mural on the sidewalks of Union Square to promote a Katy Perry concert. Citi commissioned her to create branded art for Global Citizen Music Festivals in New York and Washington.
