Laura Robb creates still life paintings that are beautifully composed and masterfully painted. Her vibrant oils, with their dynamic brushwork, convey an effortlessness that has taken decades of concentrated effort and focus to achieve. Robb took her first steps to become an artist while still in high school by attending Art Student’s Academy in Tulsa, Oklahoma. After graduation, she moved to New York City to continue her education under Michael Aviano and upon returning to Oklahoma received critiques from Richard Schmid. Today she paints in a beautiful north light studio designed and built for her in Taos, New Mexico and this has also been her home for over 30 years. “It’s a familiar challenge to me to take fairly ordinary objects and arrange them in a way that brings to the viewer a purely visual communication — something hopefully more than the sum of its parts. Harmony and tranquility maybe? When I feel I’ve done my job well, words seem inadequate.
