Laura is best known for her embossed intaglio etchings, paintings and more recently assembled works constructed with layered papers often incorporating hand-beading and modeled clay bas-relief. Her study of Native American history and mythology lends authenticity to her works while a counterpoint of mystery and playfulness set them apart from the more traditional Western genre. Her individualistic style is appreciated by private and corporate patrons throughout the United States as well as numerous foreign countries.

     Laura states, “pursuit of a career in the arts is a continual exploration of reality as well as the more ephemeral spheres of mind and spirit. It is a constant challenge to communicate the discovery.”

     A native of Texas, Laura has lived in the Northwest the past thirty-five years. Her formal training began at age seven at the Catherine Lord Studio in Evanston, IL. She attended Redlands University in California and received her Fine Arts degree (magna cum laude) in design and painting from Syracuse University, Syracuse, NY. She is listed in Samuel’s Pictorial volume, Contemporary Western Artists and Who’s Who in American Art.
