UWM alum uses collaboration in art  

Laura Lynne

UWM alum and Chicago mixed-media artist and muralist Laura Lynne (BFA 2021, Painting and Drawing) spoke with Jamie Baker of Kane County Magazine about her experience using collaboration in her practice. 

“I hired another artist to assist, Mari Dzhelasi, and the whole project went so much faster,” Lynne says. “It made me think back to my first few murals where I made so many rookie mistakes, like not planning out the colors first or not mixing enough of the colors beforehand and not using a projector. I’m definitely still learning, but doing the last mural really made me realize how far I’ve come and how much I’ve developed my mural painting process.”
