Laura works mainly as a painter and textile artist, with forays into printmaking, sculpture and installation.
She worked for many years as a librarian and in business, and now devotes most of her time to an art practice. She is a founder of arc.hive artist run centre and is active in arts administration on Vancouver Island. She graduated with a Diploma in Fine Art from the Vancouver Island School of Art in 2010.
This work explores the unseen microscopic particles in the air as I imagined them. I wanted to play with the tension between these fragile, yet sometimes menacing microbes and the tactility of textile and thread.
