Laura considers herself a native Calgarian though she was born in Edmonton and her family moved to Calgary at a very young age. Laura dabbled in art off and on over the years while she raised her family of three boys, and was employed in the dental field. With the extra time available when Covid came, Laura used her creative energy painting in watercolor. Encouraged by the enthusiasm of her family and friends, she branched off into oil painting. Laura has no formal art education until she attended classes with Chris Jordon at Kensington Art in 2022. “I enjoy painting all types of subject matter. I love watching the canvas come alive”.
