laura lit
Laura Lit currently lives and works in Austin, Texas. Born in Dallas, she received a BFA in Painting from RISD in 2001. Her work that followed was primarily focused on figurative painting. In 2008 she went on to study Special Effects Makeup for Film and Television at Vancouver Film School. That along with previous experience working in the Art and Architectural Restoration field gave her knowledge of how to work with various materials and experience with a variety of fabrication techniques.
As of 2019, her work’s focus took a major shift to abstraction, brought about by a desire for change and challenge. She found that meditation could unlock a spiritual realm where she could develop imagery for abstract pieces. She first creates colored pencil drawings of her visions, then translates them into three-dimensional form, using wood, foam, paperclay, paint, resin, and various other materials. Using this new way of working, she is able to combine all her varied strengths and interests into a totally unique, ethereal, and growing body of work.
