About

Laura is a self-taught oil painter originally from the Washington DC area who currently resides in Cleveland Heights, Ohio. She attended the Baldwin Wallace Conservatory of Music in 2022, where she spent four years studying classical flute. Her transition from music to painting has been guided by a continued interest in rhythm, composition, and emotional resonance—elements that now inform her visual practice.

After graduating, Laura stepped away from music to fully explore painting, developing a body of work and an independent platform. Her practice is rooted in experimentation and self-directed study, with an emphasis on translating internal experience into visual form. She is interested in creating work that fosters connection, invites reflection, and responds to the shared experience of being alive in America today. Aiming to reinvent familiar forms that unlock deep areas of sensation, her work features high contrast scenes of figures and spaces taken from her own life and imagination.

She is deeply influenced by her involvement with Electrical Room, an artists collective she co-founded in 2025 to foster community and creative exchange. In collaboration with other artists, she has helped cultivate a space where individuals across disciplines can connect, share work, and engage in meaningful dialogue. This experience has reinforced her interest in art as both a personal and communal act. 

Recently, she has begun exploring cinema and performance art as extensions of her practice. She has become particularly interested in how audio-visual elements can expand the presentation of painting and create more immersive experiences. 

"Art and music bring feeling into my life and experiences in the same way my life and experiences bring feeling into my art and music. That's the eternal loop... There is no reason why I choose to crystallize certain moments of my life or feelings through paint. I am just fueled by this all-consuming curiosity. There's nothing better than falling in love with an idea and figuring out how to bring it to life."
