Laura Ball Paintings

American
Laura Ball's work combines her technical achievements in watercolor with an ongoing part-psychoanalytical, part-environmental project she has explored over the last ten years. A recipient of numerous awards and grants, Ball has exhibited in galleries across the United States and internationally. Her work is in important private and public collections, including recent additions to the Denver Art Museum, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), and 21c Museum. Ball received her MFA in 2004 from the University of California, Berkeley. Ball lives and works in San Diego, California.
