Laura
creates mosaic wall piece set in wooden frames resembling church
windows. She hand forms, paints and fires clay tiles that are then
set in a frame. She uses patterns and materials similar to those
used in many Middle Eastern buildings centuries ago. To some, Laura's
work reminds them of illustrated or illuminated manuscript pages
from the middle ages. Her images are quite spiritual, inhabiting
the space between heaven and earth. Laura takes her inspiration
from such artists as Marc Chagall, Miro, Picasso, Maud Lewis, and
Dawn MacNutt.
