Laura Dolp

In addition to being the Founder and Director of Stenen Press, Laura Dolp is known for her vibrant, multi-disciplinary artistic practice. Her visual work takes a research-driven approach that combines printmaking, collage and literary texts. Her writing and prints are combined in miniature volume entitled Book of Hours (2021) which explores the mythology of place.

She has also written extensively on the historical agency of music as a site of human transformation. These include several reception studies of the Estonian composer Arvo Pärt, and an epistolary account of American experience in Nasser’s Egypt in Letters from Cairo (2021).

Dolp is a working member of the Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop in New York City and KKV Grafik, Konstnärernas Kollektiva Grafikverkstad in Malmö, Sweden.

After over two decades of teaching, Dolp left her academic post in 2024 to devote herself full time to her artistic practice and Stenen Press. She holds a Ph.D. in Historical Musicology from Columbia University.
