Early life and education
Laura Ross-Paul was born in Portland, Oregon in 1950.
In 1968, Ross-Paul worked as a political cartoonist and illustrator for The Scab Sheet 10 cents for the Truth, a Vietnam-era underground anti-war newspaper in Corvallis, Oregon.
In 1974, Ross-Paul received her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting from Fort Wright College. She went on to obtain her Master of Fine Arts in Painting and her B.S. from Portland State University.
Career
Ross-Paul frequently uses the landscape of the Pacific Northwest as a background for her paintings. Her style uses the inherent qualities of the medium and lets paint bleed across her composition, frequently using a resin compound to blur the colors together to achieve a soft look. Geometric shapes such as orbs are a common reoccurring motif in her paintings. Her 2002 collection is a strong example of this.
