About
Laura Crehuet Berman is a native of Barcelona, Spain, where her love for pattern, design and bold colors originated. She has exhibited in over 150 exhibitions at galleries and museums internationally and her prints are widely collected.
Laura creates images inspired by the natural world that layer time, space, form and color together. She is equally mesmerized by the miniscule and the monumental; supernovas exploding into far away galaxies and ancient oddly-shaped pebbles that have never been touched before. Her work reflects the connections between these expanses and details within space, and how even the smallest action can create a cascade of events and phenomena.
Her work has been featured in the books: Color Theory: A Critical Introduction , The Book of Probes , Printmaking at the Edge , Contemporary American Printmakers , A Survey of Contemporary Printmaking, and An Artist and A Mother.
Laura Crehuet Berman's work is represented by Cura Contemporary (Morgan Hill, California), Sherry Leedy Contemporary Art (Kansas City), Cade Tompkins Projects (Providence, RI), Long View Gallery (Washington, D.C.), Olson-Larsen Gallery (Des Moines, IA), and Uprise Art (New York City). She has also published work through Bedrock Art Editions (Kansas City, MO), Círculo del Arte (Barcelona, Spain), and Flatbed Press (Austin), and she has a longstanding collaborative print publishing relationship with Pele Prints (St. Louis, MO).
Laura is currently a Professor at the Kansas City Art Institute, where she has taught printmaking and book arts since 2002. She received her BFA from Alfred University and her MFA from Tulane University. Together with her family, Laura runs Prairieside Cottage and Outpost, a family-friendly artist retreat in the Flint Hills of Kansas.
Berman began publishing Reflections on Color and Printmaking in 2020; a series of interviews with contemporary artists. In 2024 she was a Fulbright Scholar at the Centre for Creative and Cultural Research at the University of Canberra in Australia.
