As soon as Laura began painting in her teen years she knew art and a creative life was her path. She had a personal drive to tell stories that had no words and to explore visuals beyond the ordinary. Drawn to the larger-than-life rainforests and beaches along with the artistic cultures of the west coast, she moved from the Great Lakes in Canada to Vancouver BC to pursue her Bachelors in Fine Arts. It was here in Vancouver that she found a side of tattooing which was expansive and artistic, led by a few creative powerhouses of west coast tattooing. It quickly became the only track in her mind. She began her tattoo apprenticeship in 2008 and further years of work led her across Canada to develop her skills.

In 2016 Laura set out from Canada for extensive international travel and worldwide experience. She eventually landed in New York City to work with Kings Avenue Tattoo. Her focus on black and grey tattooing is complemented by her creative work, predominantly exploring deeper realms of being and the natural world through painting and charcoal.
