Hey, I’m Laura!

Work with Me

A Brief Story

Looking back, I believe my art journey began as a small blonde mischievous girl with a blue crayon. To me then, the sides of white dressers, desks, and anything else a crayon could stay on, was my space for a special kind of mural. What followed was upset parents and blue scribbles that stayed on that furniture and white closet walls for years. Now a moment to laugh at, is what could be considered my first (and bold) artistic expression.

Recent Times

I now live and work in Minnesota, a six-hour drive from home, in a place filled with cozy, unique coffee shops, ice fishing, and endless wild spaces to explore. I’m currently a geotechnical engineer with a fondness for creating. I paint when I feel inspired and for the people I love—and I’d love to paint, doodle, or draw for you too.

Garage Mural

An end-of-year high school COVID project for my advanced art class, this garage-door mural marked my first large-scale public work. I’d love to create more murals like this in community and city spaces.

  • Most of my experience falls into the categories of sketching, doodling, and painting. I have used other mediums before and would love to work large scale again. Requests can be anything from tattoo ideas, sketches, card making, custom paintings, original prints, window art, and large murals.
