Artist Spotlight: Laura Dewey

If you have stopped by the Midtown Scoop Shop in the past couple of weeks, you may have noticed some new, colorful art on our Art Wall. That would be courtesy of local artist based in Sterling, AK, Laura Dewey! We are so stoked to have her beautiful art on display through the rest of July and August. Next time you're in for a scoop, check out her work-- it won't disappoint! Read on to learn more about Laura's installation and how to connect with her and her work beyond our walls here at the Scoop Shop!

One of her several insane pieces in our shop NOW!

What inspired the pieces for this collection?

These paintings were inspired by my favorite outdoor memories and adventures. I am constantly amazed by the natural beauty of Alaska. Living on the outskirts of the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge, I very feel lucky to have easy access to endless hiking trails, wild rivers, dramatic coastlines and abundant wildlife.

What is the medium of this collection? 

These pieces are prints of original acrylic paintings on canvas.

Tell us a bit about yourself as an artist?

I’ve always had an interest in art. I graduated in 2008 with a BA in Art from the University of Oregon and have been painting full time since 2020.

Any favorite Wild Scoops flavors? 

Sitka swirl and wild blueberry!

Any other fun facts? 

You can find my paintings for sale year round at Dos Manos in Anchorage and Naptowne Brewery in Sterling.
