Laura took her formal training at the Ontario College of Art in Toronto. She also spent a year at the Instituto Allende in San Miguel de Allende. She promptly fell in love with Mexico and returns whenever she can.

This, with a 3 month stay in Belize, has profoundly affected her artwork.

Having spent time working on the emergence of 'colorfield' paintings (a form of abstract expressionism) that have been in her head “for the last 20 years“ (see Page.2), Laura has realized she sees in layers of color before she sees the shape or form of an object.

The intensity, the color, the passion of the Americas, remain a constant delight to her.
