Laura Laser
A Little Rock artist blends bright colors, abstract form and mixed media to create inspiring works of art


Laura Laser started as an artist 20 years ago when she began dabbling in mixed media, incorporating stamps and drawings.

With four years dedicated to drawing at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock and a degree in studio art, Laura has honed her mixed-media skills over the past 10 years, and is now represented exclusively at T. Lamarr Interiors & Fine Art in Little Rock.

“When my first daughter was born, I really felt drawn to get in gear about my art,” Laura says. “I felt that I needed to do it, and that it brought great balance to my life.”

With a wall of windows and cheery light-blue walls her top-floor studio inside Pulaski Heights First Christian Church, she’s able to work on many pieces at once.

“I love the personal nature of painting portraits,” she says.

“And those can take hours and hours to complete, while my mixed-media pieces may take months. They are constantly evolving and increasing in layers. For me, it’s about the process and the free expression. I feel that my art inspires positive feelings, and it’s very approachable.”

Through T. Lamarr, Laura offers a wide variety of mixed media and paintings, most of which weave bright colors with images, words and abstract form.

“At first, I tried to create what I thought clients would want,” she says. “But Tobi and Melissa assured me that my best work came when I wasn’t trying so hard. It was a real relief that they supported me and my art without limitations.”
