Her primary medium is wool but she also incorporates various other fibers into her art. Her work is created both using wet felting and needle felting techniques. “I love the tactile nature of the fibers and their ability to lend themselves to both the realistic and playful. Needle felting allows for sculpting the fibers and creating 3-D pieces which speaks to my interest in engineering and natural forms. It is a wonderful to sit with the fibers and create every day and the added level of joy experienced by sharing with others heightens the creative process.”

Art Listings: March 2025 Featured Artist: Exhibits: 2nd Saturday Opening Reception: Location: Contact: “Knife Painting in oil, for me, is an exploration of possibilities. An idea or image takes form as I freely utilize knives and brushes with thickly applied color that is vibrant, alive, and assertive. The creative process begins to assume a life of its own, and herein lies the discovery of what can surprisingly unfold. As I work, I find myself immersed in the dynamic interplay between color and texture, allowing each stroke to guide the next. This spontaneous approach often leads to unexpected and delightful results. Hopefully, the final expression will both attract and engage others as they observe my efforts to share a bit of the beauty that surrounds us.”

In her San Luis Obispo studio, she coaxes acrylics onto canvases where the dance between light and form seems to breathe and move. Each painting is to be observed slowly, like memory emerging from a fog. When you look at her work, you don’t see a scene; you’re stepping into another world. Her paintings invite you to look closer, to wander through each brushstroke or wave of pigment, discovering hitherto unknown shapes. Laura’s artistic endeavors seek to create a more vivid, personal language that feels like someone speaking naturally about art […]
