Reviews and Features



“Laughlin has an intuitive ability to create dazzling juxtapositions of object, shadow and reflection. Surely, few contemporary artists are as adept as she at conjuring chromatic magic ,provoking prismatic sensations ,or presenting us with luminous layers of illusion.”
                                Ed McCormack
                                Gallery&Studio

"The work is buoyant, optimistic and playful. Nancy is resolute in her commitment to her artistic journey which offers an almost limitless exploration of the possibilities of her three-dimensional worlds filled with carefully positioned elements."
                                Ingrid Fox
                                Curator Pfizer Inc. (retired)

"Her magical, fragmented still life and landscapes reward us richly with the briefly perceived objects of a demanding vision, gloriously, dynamically reflected through the finely distorted fluidities of a fantastic water world."
                                Sam Hunter, Professor Emeritus of Art                                 History at Princeton University

“Her pastels shatter our traditional concepts of
still lifes . . . objects with various textures dance with grace and abandon.”

                                Zoltan Buki, former Curator of Fine Art
                                New Jersey State Museum

“Her style is as distinctive as a signature.”
                                Cathy Visco
                                The Trenton Times
