Laura Schiff Bean

Laura Schiff Bean (born in New York state), is a contemporary visual artist. Prior to becoming a career artist, she earned a degree in psychology from George Washington University and then worked in print advertising in Boston, Massachusetts. Laura Schiff Bean went on to get her Masters in Fine Arts (MFA) from School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts. Her inspiration is derived from artists such as Lucien Freud, Jenny Saville, and Jim Dine.

Bean is known "for her dress 'portraits' painted with many layers of thick dripping paint." She tries to imbue the paintings with a sense of the wearer.
