One of the clearest memories I have of my child as a toddler was watching her navigate the grand expanse of the three Richard Serra sculptures on permanent display at DIA Beacon.

Since 2019, Rovner has chronicled these flowers, weaving a narrative that balances the beauty of nature with the shadows of ongoing conflict, infusing her work with tones that reflect themes of loss and resilience—even offering a poignant reflection on the complexities of existence and coexistence.

A few years ago, a serendipitous message led me to Laura’s art. I’ve been a champion of it ever since, and not surprisingly, as her work is emotionally rich. She is a multidisciplinary artist whose work focuses on memories and their limitations and the subjective truths that emerge from them.
