Laura didn’t set out to become a professional artist, but a knee surgery and a trip to France gave her the clarity and bravery she needed to embrace her creativity with confidence. What began as a humble endeavor in 2016, with cats playfully leaping into her paints in an upstairs bedroom, has blossomed into something remarkable. Today, Laura proudly operates her own studio. Her artwork is a vibrant reflection of her passions and experiences. While Laura's colorful florals captivate the eye, it's her abstracted landscapes that are the closest to her heart. Inspired by the awe-inspiring rock formations and serene creeks of the Southwest, each painting holds a cherished memory of her explorations.
