Laura is a mountain enthusiast and landscape lover. She aims to help more people appreciate our ephemeral surroundings, the glaciers we have left, our seasons, our water, and natural light.

When you observe one of Laura’s paintings, you are given the opportunity to see the subject it how she saw it. They show her projections from her memories. They reference her mood, her reverence of her subject. Don’t be surprised if you discover more colour where you hadn’t noticed it before, as after all, you’re seeing the world through her eyes.

Laura’s technique requires the use of both brush and knife. This process of application allows her to create contrasts in texture and a strong finish to her work.
