Gregg Laananen - Up River


Gregg Laananen is a self-taught artist living and working in the Skagit Valley in the Pacific Northwest. His artwork is primarily informed by observations made directly from nature. His imagery is discovered through processes of drawing, material investigation, and the role of chance and the intuition, the latter of which was highly regarded by the late artist friend and mentor, Ed Kamuda.

The exhibition, Up River, celebrates Laananen’s devotion to those rural and remote places further East in the mountains and along the Skagit River drainage. Inspired by lush forests and mountains, waterfalls and flumes, swans and ferns, Laananen creates new images from a familiar world in which we find connection and meaning.
