[edit] Early Life & Education
Laura Ross-Paul was born in Portland, Oregon in 1950.
In 1968, Ross-Paul worked as a political cartoonist and illustrator for “The Scab Sheet 10 cents for the Truth”, a Vietnam-era underground anti-war newspaper in Corvallis, Oregon.
In 1974, Ross-Paul had received her Bachelors of Fine Arts in Painting from Fort Wright College. She went on to obtain her Masters of Fine Art in Painting,[1] and her B.S. from Portland State University.
[edit] Career
Ross-Paul frequently uses the landscape of the Pacific Northwest as a background for her paintings. Her style uses the inherent qualities of the medium and lets paint bleed across her composition, Ross-Paul frequently uses a resin compound to blur the colors together to achieve a soft look. Geometric shapes such as orbs are a common reoccurring motif in her paintings.[2] Her 2002 collection is a strong example of this.[3]
