Laura Polirer (she/her)
An unyielding force in the arts, Laura explores drawing, painting, and collaging techniques to highlight arts-related waste, information processing, human connection, and the taken for granted. Her mission is to leave her viewers questioning their own artistic practices, relationships, and world view. A lot of her inspiration comes the need to process thought and emotion, as well as showing respect for everything that makes her work possible to create.
​
Laura lives and works in the Hudson Valley of New York. She holds a Bachelors of Science in Visual Arts from SUNY New Paltz, and is currently managing a fine art picture framing shop. She is CPF certified and has basic conservation knowledge.
