Laura Owens

Laura Owens is a super talented artist who makes giant paintings! Imagine a painting so big it's taller than a school bus! She loves to mix different art styles together, like a chef mixing yummy ingredients.

She started making art a long time ago, in the late 1990s, when your parents might have been kids. She lives in a sunny place called Los Angeles, California, where she creates all her wonderful art.

Laura's art is famous all over the world! She's had special art shows in big museums in places like Vienna, London, and even right in Los Angeles. One time, she even had a super important show at a museum called the Whitney Museum of American Art.

That's like getting to show your best drawing to everyone in the whole school! She also turned her own art studio into a cool place for other artists to show their work.

What makes Laura's paintings so special? She uses lots of different techniques, which means she has many cool ways to put paint on the canvas. She might use bright, bold colors or soft, gentle ones.

Sometimes her paintings look like they're from a long, long time ago, and other times they look super modern and new. It's like she can travel through art history and bring bits of it back into her paintings!

Laura doesn't just paint; she also helps other artists! She used to have a special art space in her studio where other artists could show their amazing creations. This is called a gallery. It's like a special room in a museum where people go to look at art. By sharing her space, she helps new artists get discovered and share their own creative ideas with the world.
