Laura Winn Clark is an American artist living and working in New York City. She received her BA from Princeton University in Architecture and Urban Planning, with her thesis assessing how artists and architects utilize light to manipulate space and circulation.

Laura Winn Clark’s realistic oil paintings feature fellow artists in the creative act; they reveal the unseen: the psychological realities, the social relationships and struggles that impact their work. For some, there is a problem of physical space; for others, the problem is space in their day or mental space. Creation requires an effort to push back on responsibilities – family, work, norms – and to claim space for themselves. The paintings are about how the intrinsic motivations of an individual meet extrinsic pressures, inviting a dialogue about individual agency and social reality.
