Kylie McLaughlin, January Artist of the Month
/
Gallery on Main's first Artist of the Month exhibition of 2024 features an exhibition of paintings by New Jersey-based artist Kylie McLaughlin from January 2 through 31. Admission is free, and the paintings are available for purchase.
Join us for the opening reception on Saturday, January 6, from 5:00 to 7:00 pm.
Currently attending Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NYC pursuing a bachelor's degree in Fine Arts, Kylie McLaughlin says, “A lot of my work pertains to a humorous take on natural oddities and accumulation of wonder.”
After graduating high school in 2020, she deferred a year for college due to the pandemic. During, that time she worked on commissioned custom apparel such as jackets and shoes. She has since developed her art, and says, “I now get to translate what I learned into my current studio practices. I pull lots of inspiration from natural oddities, animals, taxidermy, and overwhelming wonder of life. I'm excited to continue my journey and explore the surrealist future of my work.”
