Laura Dewey was born and raised in Anchorage, Alaska and has had a lifelong interest in art. She received a degree in Art from the University of Oregon. For the last few years, Laura has been living and working in her cabin near the Kenai River with her partner Ian and their two dogs. Her brightly colored, bold paintings are inspired by the the natural beauty and dramatic landscapes seen in Alaska.

“My paintings are created with many thin, wet layers of brightly colored acrylic paint. I am interested in replicating the contrast of wildness and pattern that I see in nature. When I’m not painting, you can usually find me cooking, gardening, hiking in the forest, wandering on a beach, or fishing on the river.”

Laura has several art shows every year in South Central Alaska. You can find her work for sale year round at Dos Manos Gallery in Anchorage, Alaska and also at The Loon in Cooper Landing, AK during the summer.
