Laura has experience with contemporary concepts through her BFA painting program and an intensive traditional programs at the Florence Academy of Art.

These experiences continue to inspire how she chooses to convey felt and visual realities with her work across all mediums and subjects. She enjoys combining contemporary and traditional to meet her personal aesthetic.

Her interdisciplinary approach allows her to create artwork that speaks to both technical precision and energetic vitality.

Her work is grounded in representation. Laura experiences the subject as a deeper phenomenon of perception and memory.
