"Ms. Laughlin is drawn to an external world of form, color and texture that beckons to her highly individual and discerning eye. She thus creates for us a fresh and enchanting world of form and chroma that seem to lurk just beyond the normal eye’s ability to grasp the actual scene and its implications fully."
      — Sam Hunter, Art Critic and Historian of Modern and Contemporary Art

“With each new series, Nancy expands her visual vocabulary while staying true to her vision: an art that illuminates, that invites contemplation, and that celebrates beauty in all its forms. In an era dominated by irony and provocation, Nancy’s art is an act of quiet resistance.”
      — Beatrice Cordoba Artist Journey Magazine

“Her technique reflects a deep understanding of her mediums and an approach to combining them. The pastel on paper allows her to manipulate light and color with precision, while the mounted photographs provide a structural foundation that anchors the piece in reality. This blend of realism and abstraction is a hallmark of Nancy’s style, making her work instantly recognizable and highly distinctive.”
      — Ann Williams, Art Insight

“The most interesting artists are the ones who can take a subject and transform the meaning, purpose, and visual consumption of the finished surface through integrative techniques such as assemblage, combining different mediums, or constructing handmade props to present a theatrical presentation. Nancy Staub Laughlin achieves all three. Her assemblages leave a presentation of lasting impression through subjects and application of delicate refinement, both literally and symbolically.”
      — Michael Hanna, Titan Publishing

“Nancy’s ability to seamlessly blend photography and pastels speaks to her dedication and innovation. She challenges traditional boundaries, creating immersive experiences built on experimentation and refinement. Through her assemblages, she opens a door to a vibrant world, inviting us to see the interplay of light, texture, and nature in a new way.”

into a world of her own creation."
      — Dorrie Papademetrio , Curator Fine Arts Noyes Museum, New Jersey

     — Ingrid Fox, Former Curator, Pfizer
