As her artistic vision developed, Laura Lee Junge continued to explore new techniques and creative possibilities. Eventually, her experimentation led her toward three-dimensional wall sculptures and a distinctive approach to contemporary sculpture.
LA: How did you invent your style of painting?

Music, Movement, and Original Sculpture
In addition to exploring time, Laura brings the emotion and energy of music into her artwork. Through this combination, her musical sculptures capture the feeling of sound and movement while creating a visual connection between different art forms.
