Laura Clay Robson

Laura Clay is a Mexican-American artist based in Austin, specializing in painting and drawing. Her abstract paintings feature gradients, textures, and a balance between organic and geometric forms, reflecting her exploration of bicultural identity and the tension between chaos and order. She creates her own handmade paints and uses high-quality materials, including architectural pens and archival paper, to craft detailed fine-line drawings.

She holds an MFA from the National Art School in Sydney, Australia, a BFA from Texas Christian University, and has studied fine art at Instituto Allende in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. She also completed a year at the Corcoran College of Art + Design in Washington, D.C., now part of George Washington University. Her work has been acquired by Mexic-Arte Museum for its permanent collection and has been featured in publications such as Eastside Magazine. With over 60 exhibitions and art fairs worldwide, she is currently represented by Washington Gallery Waco and The Cathedral ATX. Through abstraction, Laura’s work navigates themes of displacement, balance, and identity, offering an immersive exploration of form and cultural narrative.
