Laura Markey is the featured artist in the Periodicals Room for June 2026. Laura will host an artist’s reception on Saturday, June 6th at 2:00pm.

Laura Markey is a mixed media artist. After moving to Maine over six years ago, she has focused her art on the beautiful landscapes of this area. Her artwork includes whimsy, 3D elements, geometric shapes and bold graphic lines. Inspired by the psychedelic art from the 60s, as well as comic books, her pieces show you the geometry and whimsical elements of what would otherwise be an ordinary scene of nature. Laura assists you in seeing beyond what it is directly in front of you. You may have seen Laura’s work displayed previously at the Blue Hill library, Northeast Harbor Library or featured in the Ellsworth American.
