Laurie Lipton

I am totally engrossed and in awe amidst being appalled all in the same time at the artworks of Laurie Lipton. She embodies work that loves to make you think and creep you out all at the same time. Born in New York, she became the first person to graduate from Carnegie-Mellon University in Pennsylvania with a Fine Arts Degree in Drawing w/ honors. Since 1986, London has become her primary home. Her drawings are very much intriguing yet disturbing and abnormal based on content, and strongly resembles the likes of actual photographs.  One cannot help but glue their eyes to these exquisite pieces of artwork that Laurie Lipton has created.
