Art Exhibit: "Connections" by Laura Young
<p><u>"Connections": 2<sup>nd</sup> Floor Gallery</u></p><p>“As a painter, I am particularly interested in the metaphorical aspects of light and how the amount of light in a picture affects our mood and reaction. I live in a small contemporary house in the woods in Iowa City. A studio is a few yards from my house where I work. I see the early morning light filtering through the trees each day, the light sparkling off the water of a small creek as well as the twilight time when the owls come out to hunt for their prey. I often think of the work of the 19th century American landscape painter, George Inness, who lived and worked in Montclair, NJ where I lived for many years when my children were growing up. His dark fields and forests with a minimal, yet powerful light leaking through the trees and brush somewhere in the middle ground creates a yearning for something beyond the horizon, something intangible. The light pulls one forward.”</p><p>Laura Young is a painter, currently living in Iowa City, Iowa where she is a Lecturer in the School of Art and Art History at the University of Iowa. She has won numerous fellowships and awards such as a Pollock Krasner Foundation Fellowship (1994), two Iowa Arts Council Grants (1997 and 2001), The Tyrone Guthrie Centre Residency (2006), among others.

Art Exhibit: "Connections" by Laura Young
<p><u>"Connections": 2<sup>nd</sup> Floor Gallery</u></p><p>“As a painter, I am particularly interested in the metaphorical aspects of light and how the amount of light in a picture affects our mood and reaction. I live in a small contemporary house in the woods in Iowa City. A studio is a few yards from my house where I work. I see the early morning light filtering through the trees each day, the light sparkling off the water of a small creek as well as the twilight time when the owls come out to hunt for their prey. I often think of the work of the 19th century American landscape painter, George Inness, who lived and worked in Montclair, NJ where I lived for many years when my children were growing up. His dark fields and forests with a minimal, yet powerful light leaking through the trees and brush somewhere in the middle ground creates a yearning for something beyond the horizon, something intangible. The light pulls one forward.”</p><p>Laura Young is a painter, currently living in Iowa City, Iowa where she is a Lecturer in the School of Art and Art History at the University of Iowa.
