North Carolina artist Page H. Laughlin

"For about eight years, I have been examining fantasies represented in popular magazines.  Currently, my paintings are based on photographs of interiors of high-end shelter magazines (Architectural Digest, Nest, etc.) These interiors present us with a fantasy of materialistic beauty."

You always feature some amazing artists! Do you own any of her work?
I'd love to see the art you display in your own home as I know you have exquisite taste!!
I'm exhausted from the weekend... how was yours?

The blackamoor and colonial portrait are my favorites, what about you?

My whole life I have been examining these fantasies...but I could never paint something that amazing as a result! She is so talented.

What a talent! And with her art work current design styles go hand on hand with old-style painting techniques. I have a crush on the "colonial portraits"! ox Monika

This is the first link I clicked on and I'm so thrilled...I love Page Laughlin's work. I saw it once before in a magazine article and was enamored by it...I'm amazed at how she captures a room with that special technique of hers. So fun to see again!
