Artist Focus: Laura Pollak

Laura Pollak’s works have gained global attention in juried shows, museums, private collections and publications worldwide. Her ability to create “visual magic” has garnered her top awards.

The majesty of the Southwest has inspired a new series called Ancient Architecture, where Laura finds the parallels between the power of nature and the buildings we see around us.

“Creating art is only part of the process,” says Laura. “Like a dialogue between friends, art must be shared in order to complete the circle."

When looking to own original art, Pollak says, “It is important to find something that ‘pulls you in’, and evokes memories and emotions, by using the magic of light and color.

“As you see a ‘special’ painting for the first time, and realize you just cannot live without it, you realize that a piece of art can infuse energy into your soul,” she says.  

Pollak believes that investing in art is always wise. “And to purchase art you love, well, that’s brilliant,” she adds. “It becomes a window to your world and a haven for you to enjoy over and over again. And remember,” Laura says, quoting gallerist Toma Wolff, ...‘if you own it, you can touch it!’”
