Laurie Hoen is an artist and educator living and working in Richmond, Virginia, USA
MessageHoen comes to her studio after working as a documentary film producer, as a professional chef, and then as a high school visual arts teacher. She’s lived in Michigan, Oregon, Texas and Virginia and holds degrees in Communications, Education, and Fine Arts. Each stop along the way has provided valuable lessons in building things from scratch, appreciating beauty where she finds it, and using every tool at hand to make personal connections.

Statement
Laurie Hoen’s art is idea driven, combining simple, easy to read images that, when layered rhythmically or symbolically, add to each other. The artist is asking questions about social justice and environmental stewardship, exploring what’s in the shadows of belief rather than settling on the high contrasts of our contemporary society.
