Since Laura was a little girl, the dance of light in the leaves of the trees above has inspired her to be captivated by the natural world! She never grows tired of watching the light dance on water, or on the side of a mountain. One of her artistic goals is to have paintings that are reminders of how important it is to see the world as the Native Americans did and become keepers of the earth.
Music and dance are also great inspirations as that melodious universal language brings humans together in
communications of rhythm and sounds.
Archetypal symbols and personal symbols tell stories! Symbols are one of the first forms of written story telling. Through symbols (seen on museum page of "African Goddess" painting and "A Primitive Future") in painting, one can not only tell a story but learn and relate to other's story that are so important to the human experience.
Born in Ohio, Laura moved to Fort Lauderdale when she was seven years old and fell in love with swimming, body surfing and being outside.
She pursued art from in early age and studied art in college and various professional workshops before showing art at festivals, galleries and museums. She also paints murals and commissions.
