Laura Wooten is a painter focused on our human connection to the landscape. Through a close observation of the natural world, with layers of memory and invention, she explores notions of place, rootedness, and belonging. She earned her undergraduate degree in Art and Architecture at the University of Virginia and continued at UVA as an Aunspaugh Post-Baccalaureate Fellow in Studio Art before earning her MFA from American University. Her landscape paintings have been exhibited across the East Coast, including juried shows at the Baltimore Museum of Art, the Biggs Museum of American Art in Dover, and the Bowery Gallery in NYC. Laura has frequently exhibited in Charlottesville, including solo exhibitions at Chroma Projects and Second Street Gallery.
