COLLAGE ON VIEW<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visually Poetic: Laura Fuller-Cooper<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

at Next Act Theatre in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA
23 February-19 March 2023<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Laura Fuller-Cooper isn\u2019t trying to collage her way out of any binds. Rather, she is creating visually poetic art that often incorporates the written word. By combining imagery from historic documents, advertising, natural elements, hand-drawing and watercolor, her collaged visions explore personal biography and memory. Laura Fuller-Cooper shows us that all artists are poets in their own way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As well as a visual artist, Fuller-Cooper is a Board Certified Art Therapist. She is a graduate of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and a founding member of Milwaukee Art Therapy Collective. She is also a faculty member at Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design and Mount Mary University. She finds inspiration for her collage work not only as personal narratives but through witnessing the stories of art therapy clients and the community as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She has also curated exhibitions at Milwaukee Art Therapy Collective, the Wauwatosa Public Library, the Magnet Factory, Woodland Pattern Books and the Wisconsin State Capitol Rotunda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
