Laura Maltz Gossen Art Show

Laura Matltz Gossen’s landscape paintings begin as compositional sketches, photograpsts and color sketches made while hiking in the Texas hill country. Back in her studio, she paints an amalgam of her sketches, more interested in capturing the feeling of the place than an exact rendering. She uses many layers of paint, allowing organic textures to build upand then scratches some areas with clay tools so the underpainting peeks throught. She is currently working on a series of paintings exploring the Austin Green Belt and Violet Crown Trails.

Laura’s Paintings will hang at Ceremony through the end of 2024. Art Opening December 11. Open house 4-11PM. Artist talk at 7PM Come see!
