Laurel Schenkman, Painting and Drawing

Laurel Schenkman Painting / Drawing These are a series of acrylic paintings that focus on Laurel’s experience with anxiety. She tends to feel anxiety really strongly.

In these pieces, Laurel uses colors and imagery that she associates with her anxiety. She uses drawings in her sketchbook as a guide for the subjects of her artworks. The drawings that Laurel made are not part of the final project. She used acrylic paint for the images. She used deep reds, light gray, dark purples, and desaturated purples. Laurel applied paint straight onto the canvas for her process.
