About Me

Hi, I’m Laura.

I’ve been making art since I was a child—always drawn to anything that sparked a feeling of joy or reminded me of times gone by. That sense of nostalgia, reflection, and play continues to shape everything I create. My work is an invitation to slow down, savour the moment, and reconnect with the beauty in everyday life.

I grew up in Ramelton, Co. Donegal—a heritage town rich in culture, rural traditions, and quiet echoes of the past. My childhood was steeped in craftsmanship and history: my dad was a carpenter, we lived in a Georgian-era home, and our family’s grocery and hardware shop served the town for most of the 20th century. Though the shop closed before I was born, its stories and surviving artefacts left a deep impression on me.

 

My creative spark was lit early, thanks to papier-mâché masks and scrapbook collages at Girls’ Brigade on Monday nights. That love of making eventually led me to study Fine Art Printmaking at the University of Ulster in Belfast, followed by a Master’s in Surface Pattern and Textile Design in the UK.

Since then, I’ve exhibited my work across Ireland—including the Royal Ulster Academy—and sold my designs internationally, with clients like Target in the US. 

My work is inspired by everyday life—the little rituals, the moments of joy, and the beauty in slowing down. Through printmaking, I’ve found a way to honour that slowness and share it with others. I hope my art encourages you to pause, reflect, and live more intentionally—whatever your version of a good life looks like.

 

Thanks so much for reading.

If you have any questions or just want to say hello, I’d love to hear from you. Drop me an email below and I’ll reply personally.
