 Artist, entrepreneur, teacher, and author, Laura began her experimentation with textile color and texture in 1989.  Her work, which appears in books, magazines, quilt calendars, and DVDs, includes wearable art and award-winning quilts.

Laura's passionate response to surface design resulted in designing her favorite images in a stencil collection, soon followed by a series of stamp sets, including StarBuilders, along with authoring her book, "StarBuilder Inspirations".   Her recent work led to the development of a technique using stamps, paintstiks, and fusbile web to easily create seemingly complex designs without sewing. Laura was voted ASE teacher of the year in 2010.
