Laura McGowan | Resident Artists of the Peninsula Gallery | episode 10

Glean insights from Peninsula Gallery's resident artists in this new video series! In this episode, we talked with oil painter, Laura McGowan.
Laura McGowan is an oil painter living and working on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. She has been interested in various artistic pursuits since her childhood in New Jersey. She earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Pratt Institute, and her first career was in interior and graphic design, in New York and London. In 1994, Laura moved to Onancock, VA and became a teacher, working with children from ages 4-13 and introducing them to many art styles, media, and a love of creating. Seeking to reconnect with making her own art, Laura began to study oil painting, taking lessons from Carole Boggemann Peirson. Laura left teaching in 2016 to become a full-time artist. She has participated in art shows and festivals in Virginia, Maryland, and Philadelphia, and she teaches oil painting classes. Laura paints landscapes, seascapes, and still lifes, capturing the beauty of nature and light. She combines studio work with plein air painting and has won awards in the Paint Onancock Plein Air event and the Eastern Shore Art League Member Show.
Works by resident artists are on display year-round and change every 3-4 months.
The gallery is located in the Shoppes at the Beacon Inn, 520 East Savannah Rd. Lewes, DE, and is open Tue-Sat, 10-5, and Sun 11-3.
