"Drawing, printmaking and painting allow my hand the freedom that my words were not allowed to express. As a woman, I was taught to be demure, graceful and charming…all things I fought vehemently, much to my mother’s dismay. Words were never what they meant on the surface, but had many hidden meanings. My work reflects the concept of layering meanings both literally and figuratively."
"Laura's work is a response to and a
celebration of situation and location and how these things can affect
the way one views the world.
She uses the figure as a metaphor for
humankind and the sadness and beauty of living. "
