TAKE A PEEK AT
Laurie Trok is a Pittsburgh based multidisciplinary artist. She studied classical flute performance at Duquesne University before finding her footing as a visual artist.
Laurie’s work both poses questions and imagines alternatives. At the heart she holds a disciplined approach to play, be it with frosting or felt. The ephemeral world of food and music continues to challenge and inform her studio practice. Food became more central to her practice during the pandemic when she started getting serious about baking and creating edible sculptures for community consumption (cake!).
Laurie has exhibited in several group and solo exhibitions at institutions such as the Carnegie Museum of Art, The Pittsburgh Center for the Arts, and the Westmoreland Museum of American Art. Laurie lives with her partner and two young children in Penn Hills. They are the best art teachers she has had to date.
