She has her MA in Speech Pathology, and has studied acrylic and encaustic painting at Pratt Fine Art Center. She has been painting for about 20 years and teaching art classes for 10 years.
Since childhood, Laura has been passionate about art. When she is not creating on canvas, she is creating in her head. Common motifs in Laura’s work are often everyday objects such as houses, dresses, birds, and vintage objects. Many of her pieces are mixed media and include found organic objects, textiles, pages from books, or items from flea markets.
Laura has participated in a number of group and solo art shows over the past 15 years. She presently paints and teaches out of her Seattle studio/gallery space.
