Some moments deserve more than a photograph.
Whether it's a quiet evening with your family, the dog who never left your side, a favorite vacation, or a child growing up far too quickly, I create watercolor paintings that celebrate the stories behind those memories.
Every painting is created by hand using professional watercolor on archival paper and designed to become a keepsake for generations.
The Story Series
Because one photograph rarely tells the whole story.
Some memories aren't made in a single moment, they unfold over time.
The Story Series combines several watercolor paintings into one collection that tells a complete story. It might capture a family adventure, the first year of a baby's life, a beloved pet, or the simple everyday moments that become our favorites years later.
Together, each painting becomes part of something even more meaningful.

About Me
Hi, I'm Laura.
I've been painting for over twenty years, but watercolor has completely captured my heart.
After stepping away from painting for a time following the loss of my dad, I found my way back through watercolor.
What started as a way to heal became a new way of telling stories, stories about the people we love, the places that shape us, and the moments that become part of who we are.
Becoming a mother has changed the way I see those moments. I've realized that the memories we treasure most are often the simplest ones: sticky hands reaching for yours, a walk through the woods, bedtime snuggles, laughter around the dinner table, or the familiar comfort of a beloved pet waiting at the door. These ordinary moments pass so quickly, yet they become the memories we carry with us forever.
That's what inspires my work. I'm drawn to painting the quiet, meaningful moments that might otherwise be forgotten, the ones that tell the real story of a family.
My hope is that every painting feels less like a portrait and more like a memory. Something that brings you back to how that moment felt every time you see it.
