Laura Hogan is an American artist, currently living, studying, and creating in England. She grad-uated in 2016 from Marylhurst University in Portland Oregon with her undergraduate degree in Fine Arts and Neuropsychology. She is currently studying for her master’s degree in Art Therapy at the University of Chester. Laura has shown in galleries around the world including Ireland, New York, Oregon USA, Moscow RU, and London UK. She has been featured on Speak For Change Podcast discussing How The Arts are Essential for Humanity and The Brain. Her paint-ings have been published in International magazines such as Artmosphere and Bluebee Maga-zine.
With her background of interdisciplinary studies in fine art and neuropsychology, Laura’s artistic development is braided between her life-long curiosity for phenomenology and the subjective nature of the shared human experience. The intent of Laura’s work is to inspire conversations on the subjective realities created by the human mind. She is most inspired by the studies of fun-damental physics and neuroscience, focusing particularly on theoretical and particle physics, as well as brain science. Laura believes; “Between these theoretical and microscopic spaces, all ex-perience of reality and communication is made possible”.

ARTISTIC STATEMENT:
Laura describes her work as artistic depictions of action potentials (thoughts) in the brain, trav-eling to neurons through synaptic clefts via a process called neurotransmission. Through these creations, Laura explores subjects dealing with space, time, and thought. Once a piece is pre-sented, the viewer is responsible for generating their own interpretation. This form of transmis-sion allows the perceiver an opportunity to aesthetically reenact part of the artist’s perceptual experience. Laura aims to inspire her viewers to better understand the differences in human per-spective. She encourages us to delve deeper into the relativity of the mind, to illuminate the endless interpretations that can be derived from a single work of art.
