Laura is a self-taught artist that applies her education grounded in the formal principles of interior design of unity, balance, rhythm, contrast, emphasis, proportion and details. By applying these principles which create pleasing environments in which to live and work, she extends to create works of art that are pleasing to the eye and soul. She refined her artistic skills and techniques used for her work from an early age by reading many books, watching artists videos and observing works of the masters. As with many skills in life, trial and error with perseverance remain her constant teacher.

This practice and formal design education resulted in a successful free- lance mural and faux finish business with commercial and residential clients where she lived in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, area. Currently her emphasis is in creating works of art with oil and acrylic paint on canvas from observing the natural environment of Southwest Florida where she lives. It is her goal with all of her work to pull out unnoticed details or use different atmospheric lighting for dramatic effect using the underlying principles of design to transform a subject into a harmonious work that brings joy to the observer.

Laura’s work has often been featured in private, individual and group showings and in various galleries where she has lived. Currently her work can be seen at September Moon Gallery in Findley Lake, New York, and Beach Street Gallery on Marco Island, Florida. She is a member of the Marco Island Center for the Arts in Marco Island, Florida.
