McLaughlin's paintings are multi-level expressions
that draw the observer into a world of altered realism through suggestion,
symbolism, and metaphor via the subtle use of light, space, color and contrast.
His subjects are gleaned from his love of land and skyscape. He explores
personality through personal possessions. As a world traveler with his
wife Penny, he records the essence of a locale, often injecting myth and
drama. At Ohlone College, (1967-1999), he was the first professor in the
new art department, where he taught Painting, Art History, Drawing, and
co-founded the art gallery.
