Creativity must be cared for, like plants in a garden

Laura is a textile artist and painter based in the Greater Toronto Area, she grew up being captivated by the colors and light of nature. From watching the fields and trees go by on long car rides to spending time in her nana's garden and on her aunt's farm, she finds inspiration in the beauty of the world around her.

As she found her passion for art Laura began exploring various mediums and methods of working she love with the deep pigments and vibrant colors that both paints and printing pigments offer and has been using them to convey the sometimes messy, but always beautiful qualities of nature ever since. She often incorporates embroidery and other media in her work as well, to complement the bright pigments and add texture to the work, merging her passions into a unique piece of art.

Laura's work is an attempt to capture the dream-like quality of nature that she sees and feels. Through her artwork, she hopes to convey and share that sense of wonder with others.

Lauras Art Garden was established in 2020 by Laura Gabriel.
