About the Artist

Gin Laughery is a printmaker known for her serene and soulful original monotypes and mixed media prints.   She studied printmaking under internationally known artist the late Royal Nebeker resulting in a strong technical foundation.  She depicts landscape imagery through abstraction, utilizing the natural elements and patterns found in the sparse elegant landscapes of Central Oregon.  The panoramic views which surround her directly influence her choice of palette and materials, resulting in layered works suggestive of place and mood.  Observation and memory contribute to her finished compositions.  Laughery invites the viewer to consider geological nuance, in all its subtle yet expansive beauty as well as atmosphere, always playing its role in her characterization of this unique and powerful region .  These are the places that know her.
