MEET ARCHIVAL ARTS' LAURA GARDINER

Laura Gardiner - Reproduction Expert

Some of our customers have already had the pleasure of meeting Archival Arts’ Reproduction Expert Laura Gardiner. Others have only glimpsed the side of her face as she is absorbed in skillfully proofing artists’ digital files. She operates our Betterlight scanner, programs the large format printers, and even makes the stretchers and panels for mounting your art. She is equally adept at handling the final stage of framing and can answer many of  your questions about our services and products.




A 2010  graduate of UMBC, Laura holds a BA in Visual Arts with emphasis on Photography. We’ve included here some of Laura’s artwork from her award-winning senior exhibit in the Center for Art, Design and Visual Culture on the campus of UMBC.
Laura poses at her 2011 show with some of her models.

In addition to her love of the arts, this native of Frederick, MD has a passion for Vonnegut, vinyl and vino.  Her creative and technical background makes her an excellent fit for us. So, if you haven't already, on your next visit to Archival Arts say hi to Laura!
