My work included in Art in the Age of Trump

Three of my political broadsides are included in Karen Gutfreund’s new book, Not Normal: Art in the Age of Trump.

The book, “is a visual protest of the Trump administration featuring 147 artists with over 350 works. Artists around the United States are raging against Donald Trump in visual protest. Not Normal: Art in the Age of Trump, Second Edition, documents this artistic movement in a curated collection. Their outrage is evidenced in full Technicolor on subjects ranging from racism, the Covid pandemic, xenophobia, immigration, promotion of hatred and violence, mistrust of science and facts, misogyny and of course, a narcissism that puts our entire country and world at great risk.”

DOGS, Laurie's whimsical book on canine conversation, included in the Animalia Exhibition at Healdsburg Center for the Arts.

Laurie’s accordion book, DOGS, was shown in the Animalia exhibition at the Healdsburg Center for the Arts, March 2 thru April 14.

The word “Animalia” evokes images of all animals; birds, bugs, reptiles, furry friends and pets, fish and fowl. It brings to mind all the wild and wonderful ways that “Animalia” have been an integral and essential part our human experience….archetypal animals, totemic animals, whimsical and sacred, silly and wise.

Szujewska's work on view in "Pressing Matters: Printmaking and Artist Books" at San Luis Obispo Museum of Art Oct. 7 to Nov. 13

Szujewska's work, Camouflage, is now on view in an exhibition of Central Coast Printmakers in conjunction with the San Luis Obispo Museum of Art. Pressing Matters is a juried print exhibition open to artists in California, Oregon, and Washington. The original prints and artists' books will be on view in the Gray Wing from October 7 – November 13, 2016. 

This juried exhibition showcases the twin disciplines of fine art original prints and artists’ books. Artists were challenged to utilize traditional printmaking processes to comment on contemporary issues. This compelling amalgamation invites viewers to witness how artists convey substantial social topics. Using serigraphy, letterpress, collagraphy, etching, woodcut, lithography, linocut, drypoint, mezzotint, monoprint, and solar plates, these works are both beautiful and significant.

Szujewska's work in Marin MOCA National Summer Show

The Marin MOCA Summer National Exhibition features contemporary artists from around the nation and includes sculptures, paintings, photography and printmaking. This exhibition spans two galleries and is juried by Brian Gross, owner of Brian Gross Fine Art. 49 artworks were selected from a total of 1286 entries from 26 states. This survey exhibit shows us how artists explore abstraction from minimalism and formal grid-like color fields to more intuitive, emotion-based content. Process and artistic investigations are inspired by myriad sources, both external and internal.
