Halo, Hat, or Abstract shape

Laura Bohon is an American figurative artist working at the intersection of classical technique and embodied perception. Through drawing and painting, she creates what she calls "a tactile archaeology of presence" and works that translate the quiet accumulation of sensory experience, memory, and research into a 2D visual form.
Trained in both contemporary and classical traditions, Laura combines rigorous observational practice with somatic awareness.
