Laurie Meseroll creates winsomely charming and sincere paintings, collages, assemblages, and stitcheries...in her words, non-traditional folk art she calls Mud-Cakes. Her work brings me immediate affection for incredibly palpable testimonies to color and texture. Autobiographical in nature, they call upon the artist’s experiences, magical, romantic and the vernacular, which bring to mind one’s own.
In her own words…, “In painting it is always an experiment. I tend to find enormous depth in ordinary everyday activity so I work outside of storytelling and try to capture feeling and twist it around a bit to offer an intriguing image. My paintings flow from the realm of characters and stories into unexplored areas of stillness and reflection.”
…And Laurie is a wonderfully fun and interesting person, who misses her beloved Woodstock…we share a love for the Hudson Valley my adopted home (…we hope she will visit soon…). And in the meantime watch for more canvases, bees wax embellished collages on wood, and her extraordinary wall dolls.
We are thrilled to be working with Laurie and proud to bring you a great selection of her work in size, price and medium. E-mail us to receive updates of new pieces as they arrive from her studio.
