Laura Hapka
Laura Hapka creates abstract paintings through the manipulation and layering of acrylic paint. She produces work that stretches the definition of painting using a novel, construction, deconstruction and reconstruction process. Her paintings are composed of hand-painted acrylic that is altered once removed from an encaustic surface. The acrylic is then layered, to add dimensionality and increase intrigue, onto the final surface. Hapka's abstract paintings are driven by her unique process and motivated by themes of self-awareness, both as an artist and individual, expression of emotions and worldwide interactions with nature. Each theme represents a force that has impacted her life and makes her who she is: Laura Hapka, artist.
