Laura Lou Levy Bio & Statement
Laura Lou Levy has a BA in Fine Arts from Indiana University, Bloomington and Universidad Complutense, Madrid, as well as an MFA in Painting from Pratt Institute, Brooklyn.  A native of Kentucky, she spent years in New York City before migrating to Maplewood, New Jersey.

Her work as a Senior Hedcut Illustrator for The Wall Street Journal for over 35 years has allowed her the unusual pleasure of making a living drawing pictures, for which she has won numerous awards and been the subject of articles and TV news features.

My work is specific to place: I hike and climb there, in locations as disparate as the Red River Gorge in my native Kentucky, the dramatic coasts of Cape Breton - Nova Scotia and Quebec, to New Brunswick and Newfoundland, returning again and again to coastal Maine. I explore space in my drawings and paintings –negative space, and how it stretches deep. Surface is important to me, and the calm shapes land makes: the sensual curve of mountains, the distant undulation of a watery horizon, a river’s meandering sway .
In “Sand Beach 1” and “2,” I witness the dramatic stretch and spray, the aim of sea into shore at Sand Beach on Mount Desert Island.  The tide becomes the light, suffused with emotion.  In “Weather” I accept the cloudsphere’s constant change in pressure and pull.  We have no choice.
While I love oil paint for its sensuality, and its dichotomy of muscularity and delicacy, I love charcoal for its immediacy, its responsiveness, and its surprises.
I love these places, and hope my drawings take you there.
