Laura Lou Levy

Laura Lou Levy has a BA in Fine Arts from Indiana University,

Bloomington and Universidad Complutense, Madrid, and an MFA

in Painting from Pratt Institute, Brooklyn. A native of Kentucky, she

spent years in Brooklyn and Manhattan before migrating to New

Jersey to raise her family. Levy has shown her drawings and

paintings for decades in museums, galleries, and nonprofit spaces,

including the Newark Museum of Art. Her 36 years as a "Hedcut"

Illustrator for The Wall Street Journal gave her the unusual pleasure of

making a living drawing pictures. Her work has been mentioned, featured,

and reviewed in publications including The New York Times, The New Yorker,

Jersey City Times, njarts.net, The Star Ledger, and American Artist.

It is in private and corporate collections in the US, Spain, England, France,

and Israel, and the National Portrait Gallery.
