A Night in Northampton







{Hotel Northampton and the streets of Northampton, Ma/Jan. 2011}





The Work of Laura Niemi Young II





{In the Room and The YoYo II by Laura Niemi Young}

Haunting and provoking, as if brought back in time, Laura's duotone images leave you leaning in to look as closely as you can. Incredibly, you can almost feel the texture of the elephant's rough wrinkles and only hope the riders are enjoying the dusky summer night. Laura Niemi Young paints with depth and so much character. There are many pieces in this series, which Laura just showed at
a group show at Marblehead Arts Association also recently showed in a solo show in Salem, MA. Visit her website and be moved!
