Laura Fayer (born in Concord, MA, USA) is a New York City based artist who creates large-scale abstract paintings that evoke the ephemeral qualities of the natural world—sky, water, and earth. Drawing on visual memories from her childhood years in Japan, she blends traditional painting techniques with an innovative printmaking process she developed, creating layers of color fields interwoven with woodblock-inspired marks.

Her artwork has been included in galleries and exhibitions throughout the world and can be viewed in many public and private collections, including NYU Langone Hospitals, Apollo Global Management, Norwegian Cruise Lines, the Londoner in Macau, Grand Hyatt in Kauai, Ritz Carlton in Shenzhen and the US Embassy in Djibouti.

She was awarded fellowships from the Pollock Krasner Foundation and International Residencies for Artists to live and work at Triangle France in Marseille and the Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts, and was also an artist in residence at Baer Arts Center in Iceland, the MacDowell Colony and Yaddo.

Fayer holds an MFA in painting from Hunter College in New York City and has an undergraduate degree from Harvard University's Department of Art, Film and Visual Studies. Her early childhood years in Japan continue to have a strong influence on her work, informing both her aesthetic sensibilities and her connection to traditional Japanese materials and techniques.

Her mixed media paintings exist in a delicate balance between energy and calm, revealing unexpected harmonies that echo the patterns of the natural world.
