Hello, I’m laura
I’m known for my positive outlook, my rich layering of paint and intentional use of bright, vibrant, color.
Color enlivens my soul and wakes me up to the beauty and joy of life.
Most days you can find me painting or teaching in my sunny little studio here on the shoreline in Groton, Connecticut. The birds keep me entertained at the feeder outside my window where I’m in tune with the constant and effortless flow of the seasons here in New England.
When I’m not at my easel, you will most likely find me immersed in learning something new, taking a walk at the beach, or in my garden creating and photographing flower posies.
The fleeting quality of flowers humbles me and reminds me to stay present and appreciate every moment of my life.
Painting offers me a place to express the joy I feel for being alive.
I’ve always loved the art of making a space feel special—
mixing colors, textures, and little details that tell a story.
Whether it's a fresh coat of paint, a beautiful book,
or the perfect piece of art,
I believe design should spark joy and feel personal.

Let’s Cultivate Joy
It’s an honor to be able to connect with people who choose to cultivate beauty and joy within their lives and homes. We all need reminders now and again to embrace joy and know the value of it in our lives. My greatest intention as an artist is to remind you that life is filled with magic and wonder and if I’m lucky, inspire a little more happy in your home.
“Color can speak to the soul in a thousand different ways.”
~Oscar Wilde
