Visual Art – Washington, D.C.
Laura McGuigan is a self-taught abstract expressionist artist, designer and all around creative nobody, known for her bold, gestural and fluid abstract paintings, using materials such as acrylic paint, oil stick, pastel and spray paint. She moved to the Washington DC area in 2006 to study interactive design at the Art Institute of Washington and began painting as a way of escape from her anxiety and depression, deciding to tackle it full-time in May of 2016. Her first solo show, It Looks Easier Than It Is, opened in May 2017. Aside from painting for herself, she also actively works on commissions, creating beautiful work for client’s homes.
