Through creative observation and blended techniques, Laura creates work that invites the viewer to experience moments of connection and discovery. Her artwork is a somatic "I was here" for her experience and a sensory record of the perceptions she has learned to translate in her studio over time. Drawing and painting are tactile sculptural experiences to our senses, according to research studies and historical artistic writing, even though they operate in a 2-D field of expression. The slowness of time and the marvel of observation are the origin of Laura's appetite for art. Art is a reminder for the self to expand and experience. Her passion for spaces, time, healing, and the human experience motivates her to use her senses and design a trail of evolution.

Drawing from her experience as a movement therapist and with a Bachelor's in human movement science, Laura also brings an exceptional understanding of form and physical presence to her artistic practice and teaching. Although embodiment has become commonplace in language today, it was an essential philosophical principle of the Renaissance and remains a tool for human healing. Her interdisciplinary approach allows her to create artwork that speaks to both technical precision and energetic vitality. Laura's current work concerns how to hold awareness while creating and what this dualistic experience does for the art and the artist.

As an associate member of Oil Painters of America, American Women Artists, and the College Arts Association of America, she pushes her artistic boundaries by emphasizing tangible, connective experiences with objects, spaces, and people.

In her teaching and facilitation roles, Laura brings a playful curiosity and vitality to the creative process for fellow artists.

Laura attended the Florence Academy of Art certificate program in 2012 and their Master of Arts program from 2023 to 2025. Her previous experiences in art were contemporary painting and drawing programs at ETSU and UTC. Her mentors in movement played a large role in the eventual self-healing, the movement studio practice Laura formerly ran in Seattle, and the artwork that Laura currently creates. Those mentors were kinesiologist and former advanced trainer at LBD Marie José Bloom-Lawrence, former professional dancer and movement expert Jennifer Gianni, movement expert and neuropoetic coach Casey-Marie Herdt, and movement specialist Sydney Craig.
