Artist Statement:
Laura Z
I have been an artist my whole
life, working in many
media: visual, performing, and
literary. My formal
education consists of a B. A.
in English (Writing),
a minor in acting and film,
and a liberal salting
of studio art classes. As a
visual artist, I
gravitate to mixed media, from
acrylic paint, ink,
and oil pastels to found
objects.
My pet project has been to
develop my own experimental
medium, which was inspired by
the local abundance of
colorful minerals and
gemstones in western North
Carolina. I began by
collecting colored mineral and
earth samples, such as red and
yellow ochre, charcoal,
mica, talc, etc. From this
limited palette I began to
experiment with a durable
acrylic as a binder. Now, my
palette has expanded by
including harder minerals,
found locally and around the
world: I now have dozens of
colors in every hue, including
blues and purples. "Earth
Paint" is a highly textured
(and sparkly!) kind of
primitive paint, a modern
twist on an ancient idea,
where cave painting meets
canvas.
I am available for portraits,
art instruction, astrological
advice,
and commissioned work.
