Hi there, I’m Laura
I help artists to build their skills,
confidence and creative style.
Join over 45,000 students and become part of a thriving mixed media community
After many months, I have not exhausted the explorations that began with taking these classes. With consistent practice, I am making my own creative discoveries and finding my own style and resonance.

Discovering Laura's wonderfully encouraging and beautifully crafted classes has given me the confidence to begin to find my own creative path. With Laura's generous guidance, I am becoming immersed in my own journey of discovery.

Tune in to the podcast for encouragement
and inspiration
Are you a lover of lists, a creature of habit, or more free-flowing in how you go about your days? Today we’re talking about different working styles and how they have both served and hindered us at different times.
This week, we talk about the question: when is something good enough? This came about because I’ve been struggling to make some decisions around my signature course, Modern Mixed Media.
This week I chat with Richie about watercolour painting and why it can be such a helpful medium, even if you usually work with acrylics, oils, or other materials.
Join us for a conversation about taking small steps towards your dreams, no matter what stage of life or your creative career you’re at.
In this episode, Richie and I ponder the question: is this even an art podcast anymore? Over the years, the topics we discuss have widened to include more about lifestyle, health, family and relationships.
Today, Richie and I chat about how small acts of kindness can transform your creative practice. The idea for this conversation came about when I finally decided to clean and refresh my watercolour palettes.
We're back after nearly two years! In this more personal episode, we share why we stepped away from the podcast, the health journeys we've both been navigating, and how they've changed our approach to creativity.
Join us as we discuss the healing power of art and how creativity has helped us both process emotions, find mindfulness, and reconnect with our playful side.
From the initial burst of excitement, through the problem-solving middle, to knowing when to stop, we share tips and personal insights on every stage of a painting.
Ever feel like you're constantly shifting between being an artist and wearing all the other hats that come with life and work?
Loving this podcast!

A great podcast for emerging artist transitioning into a professional career. Laura and her husband are naturals with the mike and a delight to listen to. Definitely one of the best podcasts I subscribe to. Very insightful and informative.

Because I’m self taught I have always felt my work was not good enough, but after doing your classes, not any more! THAT Laura is what you’ve given me — My Tools! When I’m done painting a canvas, my work looks professional. It looks polished!
