Laura has been involved in the visual arts for most of her life, as a teacher of visual arts in Illinois and South Dakota, as an artist , and as a strong advocate for the visual arts. Until retirement from public education Laura had been involved with the National Art Education Association since college.
As a child, Laura liked to draw, paint, and experiment with different materials. Her early work however, was not limited to one particular media. During her college years, and in her post graduate work, Laura experimented with many different media and materials, including fiber arts, jewelry and metal work, watercolors, pottery, computer graphics, and photography. In later years she has specialized in pottery, jewelry and photography. Jewelry work has recently become a focus of her work, especially in the media of raku and glass.
