I’m driven by improving access to the arts and creativity in schools, healthcare settings and public spaces.

I offer a range of workshops exploring playful drawing, painting and 3D sculpture for a variety of ages and groups. Whatever the demographic, my teaching is accessible with a focus on process, exploration and building creative independence - rather than a ‘step-by-step’, outcome-led approach.

I also provide collaborative consultancy services for teachers, senior leaders and companies looking for support in improving their creative provision.

Previous collaborations include: Public drop-in workshops at the Affordable Art Fair; Working with learning-disabled and neurodivergent adults at Artbox London; Healthcare and social workers on berhalf of Breathe Arts Health Research; Teenager cancer and mental health in-patients at UCLH via Bright Futures UK; Patients and volunteers at North London Hospice and the London Irish Centre; Teenagers at Central Saint Martins UAL; Various Primary Schools and Early Years settings across the UK.

I am also a regular art mentor with Koestler Arts, providing direct support to ex-offenders looking to develop their creative practice in the first year after being released.

I write curriculum resources for Access Art and am a featured artist as part of their AccessArt Gestural Drawing with Charcoal Talking Point.

Direct experience of working with vulnerable adults and children with SEND, in and out of school settings. Safeguarding trained and DBS checked (children and adults). Formal references available.

“Thank you for sparing your time and being so encouraging and warm towards the children. They were so excited throughout the whole process - from drawing in charcoal, then getting to show 'a real artist' their drawings and getting the opportunity to ask you questions too. There was lots of positive chatter amongst them afterwards and it was a great experience for them all.”

“Laura's artistic abilities are nothing short of extraordinary. Her creativity knows no bounds, and she has a unique ability to bring ideas to life through her art. Her passion for art is evident in every piece she creates, and she has an innate ability to connect with others through her visual storytelling. Her talent, dependability, warmth, and generosity make her an asset to any community or project.”
