Laurie Lipton

Laurie Lipton was born in New York and began drawing at the age of 4. She developed a way of drawing that mimicked the technique by building up thousands of tiny lines to get a tone, and she was able to get the same kind of luminous detail that the 17th century Flemish painters had achieved.
Laurie was the first person to graduate from Carnegie-Mellon University in Pennslyvania with a Fine Arts degree in drawing. Laurie has lived in Holland, Belgium, Germany and France and has made her home in London since 1986.
