Self-Taught Detroit Native is Featured Artist on The Wrighter

July 12, 2012 - PRLog -- This week, John McLaughlin is featured on The Wrighter as the blog continues to explore the work of contemporary artists and discuss the auctioning of Edvard Munch’s “The Scream.”  The Wrighter’s features will continue through the rest of summer 2012.  

“My painting and drawing process is a delicate balance of skill and intuition. A fluctuation of control and careful planning, along with letting go, allowing for surprises, then bringing it all back into a state of focus,” McLaughlin stated.

The Wrighter’s tribute to “The Scream” was created in May, after the record breaking auction in New York, and features two artists a week. McLaughlin is the fourteenth featured artist and shares his own version of “The Scream” titled, “Feathered Look” along with images of some of his favorite work.  

When asked about his favorite purchase within the last 30 days, he replied, “My favorite thing last purchased would be the book "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" by Robert M. Pirsig. I've always wanted to read this and never got around to it. I'm enjoying it.”

Wright, creator, contributor and editor of The Wrighter, is a California native who earned her BA degree in Journalism from the California State University, Fullerton.  She has created several art series, including, “Fractured,”  “Cali Free,” “Eleven Twenty-Three Girl” and most recently, “Kobiphysics” which exhibited at the Huntington Beach Central Library in April 2012.  Wright is also a featured artist on the online gallery, America Fine Art (https://www.americafineart.org/Kobina).

Wright has written several books, including, “50” and “A Crime And A Simplification Of Something Sublime,” the latter includes several of her sketches.  She is also an actress who has performed in theater productions, independent films and commercials.
