About this Retreat
Your Guides
Laura is a Visual Artist that lives and works in Ballarat, Victoria. She uses painting and mixed media to create her work. In 2004 Laura completed a Diploma of Visual Arts at Victoria University and went on to study a Bachelor of Communication Design with a Printmaking Major at the Queensland College of Art where she graduated in 2008.
Laura established a Screen-Printing Studio in Melbourne in 2010 and re-located to Ballarat in 2011 where she continued to run her art tutoring business. She has worked for numerous years as a disability and arts practitioner and has led art workshops in a variety of techniques to hundreds of students.
After being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease Laura found new meaning in the creative process as she started using art making as a healing modality for herself. She recently held a position at St John of God Ballarat as the Project Officer for the Arts and Health Program. As an avid learner she is now currently undertaking Art Therapy studies through the Institute for Sensorimotor Art Therapy.
