Introduction: As an avid traveler, I find inspiration in the places I visit and typically incorporate novelties I find along the way into my work. My artwork is mostly characterized by my use of a jewel-tone palette and mixed media to create desired characters and objects. I love that I can work from home, and dive into something when I'm inspired. I feel that my best work comes about when I start on it as soon as it comes to mind, or when I'm approached with a commission or event date to work with.

I've worked with Laura in many capacities, including stagework where she provided essential costuming for a theater production, and also I've worn costumes & makeup she designed for various events. Her ability to work either within a time & money budget or with complete creative freedom is a great asset for your project, and the imagination she injects into existing or new ideas is refreshing and unexpected.

Halloween 2013. I asked Laura to perform a makeup job for a costume party. The facial artwork that she did won me first prize scariest makeup/costume at the Boothbay Harbor, Maine Halloween seasonal event. Laura worked with my facial features, blending textures that produced believable results. Her attention to detail, including accessories, produced prize-winning results. On improvements, I would have liked more information on how to maintain the makeup in hot or wet conditions. However, the makeup held up very well throughout the evening and I was the talk of the town for weeks. Thanks Laura!

Thanks Tom! I had a lot of fun doing that makeup and coming up with that costume. The makeup we used was water-based, so when you start dancing and sweating is is likely to come off eventually. I have since switched to an oil-based makeup for myself (and others) on the face only, which lasts all day/night. :)

Laura is pleasant to work with and extremely creative and talented. I am most familiar with her costume designs and make-up abilities, but have seen her art work and I think it is very good. I expect to see some extraordinary things come from her ingenuity and artistic inspirations.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
It all depends on the time it will take to complete, the pieces involved (if I have them or not. I.e. fabric, etc.), and the location to which I am driving, if necessary.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am constantly picking the brains of other artists in my family, or friends that do work professionally or for fun. I don't stick to any particular age group or type or art, as there is always something to learn from everyone!
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I've always been an artist and the typical 9-5 job thing wasn't working out for; I was always daydreaming of something more, some creative. I think doing what you love and focusing on that as a career is the most important decisions you can make.
