Laura Dewberry Surace
"Born and raised from a long line of Southerners, I find inspiration in history, folklore, and stories past down from family members. I create my own interpretations of these stories in my art. Often, the term “Southern Gothic” is in the back of my head as I create my art. If there is irony in my work, hopefully I portray strength and resolution through bold marks using simple, if not elegant, subject matter."
