$300 Gift Card to spend at Laura Loving Studio.

Laura Loving's paintings cultivate a space of joyful energy in every room they occupy. You can find her work hanging in homes and businesses around the world. Laura describes her process: "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."

Laura has been featured in Saks Fifth Avenue's Spotlight on Art and Country Living Magazine's Fairs in Atlanta and Rhinebeck. She received commissions to create posters 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. Bill Cunningham photographed Laura in 2010 for his On The Street column in the New York Times Style section.

Laura's art is in the collections of New & Lingwood, The New York Stock Exchange, Amazon HDQ, Dow, Arnold Palmer Hospital for Women and Children, and the offices of actress Brooke Shields. Laura was also one of 15 designers chosen by CNN to illustrate quotes by powerful women for their International Women's Day Project. Zoe Brand features Laura's art in a commercial that runs on PBS during cooking segments. Spring of 2023, Laura created bespoke pieces for the windows of Swiss shoe brand Le Majordome on Madison Avenue. Fall of 2024, Laura was featured at Shaw Contract's Art & Science event in Union Square.

A Collection of Extinct Creatures: R. cucullatus, Flashe, color pencils, graphite, on canvas, (2025) 16 x 14 inches, signed on reverse by artist (Timothy Mutzel)

Marking up a surface, I imagine I'm exploring the nature from which we're all made, it's an alchemical endeavor, emotions and chemical bonds conjured up from seemingly random patterns of light. Painting and drawing engage multiple senses: The energy radiating to the brush or pencil and reverberating back, the torque and weight of the line, how easily it flows - noticing how thoughts are influenced by these sensations and stimulated by the marks seen. As the various frequencies and patterns merge, preferences for certain curves, colors and textures are formed. A narrative begins, an argument needs to be resolved.
