LAURA HENDRICKS 

I’m a photographic and mixed media artist. My work is mostly about the relationship between gratitude and perspective. When I started collaging different parts of multiple photos to create a different image, I realized there was a connection between my artistic process, and the adding and subtracting aspects of my own life in order to better it. That was a process I started intentionally in my 20’s, and I feel a ton of gratitude around the change, learning, growth and results. With all those past and current life changes comes perspective, which I address pretty literally in my mixed media illusion works (SIX MONTH SUMMER and THE STAY). I 100 percent believe my curiosity and pursuit of both wider life perspective and the gratitude surrounding that practice are what led me to become an artist.
