Laura Naples (b. 1979) is an artist based in Hudson, Ohio. Laura’s work explores the energy of wonder in the natural world and objects shaped by human hands. A former graphic designer, dancer, and calligraphy artist, Laura senses the subtleties of form, rhythm, and line. She applies diluted acrylic washes to canvas and paper, allowing water and gravity to diffuse pigments into gradient textures. Contrasts unfold across stances of surrender and intention as she lays gestural marks and tilts the painting’s surface; then, accents alignments with linework. Laura cultivates rituals of meditation, movement, and inquiry that are fostered, infused, and embodied in her work.
