My Fulbright research focuses on the interdisciplinary intersections of color, materials studies, and contemporary printmaking.
Laura is a Professor in the Printmaking Department at Kansas City Art Institute where she has taught for over 20 years and recently received the KCAI Distinguished Achievement Award. Her scholarship focuses on color studies, printmaking, and color, and she publishes ‘Reflections on Color and Printmaking’, an online archive of in-depth artist interviews on these topics. Laura is a celebrated artist with over 30 years’ experience in creating and exhibiting printed works on paper and has exhibited her work in over 20 solo exhibitions and 150 group exhibitions both nationally and internationally.
As a Fulbright Scholar at the Centre for Creative and Cultural Research at University of Canberra, Laura’s research will investigate the history and materiality of color from the Australian perspective, with a focus on contemporary printmaking artists and publishers of printed works in Australia.
