Laura's love for the fiber arts began and was inspired by her early ballet training. Color and movement govern her design process, whether she's making a classic skirt and jacket ensemble, or a funky abstract art vest or scarf. Her handwoven tapestry "Command Performance" appeared in consecutive editions of Shuttle, Spindle & Dyepot in 2001 and 2002, and was exhibited in the Handweavers Guild of America international juried show "Small Expressions" those same years. In 2002, she learned how to knit on a double bed manual knitting machine, and in 2003 began showing and selling her one-of-a-kind pieces in juried shows such as California Threads, Contemporary Crafts Market, and the Buyers Market of American Craft.
