Laura W. McClanahan is a studio artist working with video, alternative photographic techniques and glass. Her recent themes focus on patterns in water such as waves and vortices as they relate to human behavior and patterns in the mind. Her larger body of work is an on-going study of the optical qualities of water and glass, water as a substance that enables life and water phenomena in nature.

She has also studied at the Parsons School of Design, Bank Street College of Education and the School of Visual Arts in New York City.
