Bio
Laura-Anne was always drawing and painting growing up. Her first art “gig” was painting windows at Christmas when she was 16. Dad bought her an airbrush at 17 and that was what really got her started as an airbrush artist.
She attended VIU for 2 years and received an Associate’s degree in Applied Arts (Graphics option).
After her first year at college she received a prestigious 1st place award, by unanimous decision, in a British Columbian, provincial-wide, inter-collegiate poster contest. Up against post-graduate schools and world educational leaders like Emily Carr College of Art & Design, “Enviro Visions” for Enviro Expo ‘92, Laura-Anne's "The Gift" took first place. One thousand limited edition prints were printed and each were given to one of the 1000 corporate delegates and CEO’s from major global companies such as Fuji, Canon and Hewlett-Packard.
Laura-Anne was awarded the Faculty Award for Graphics upon graduation from VIU.
Her first job out of college was designing display ads for "Yellow Pages", where she worked for three years.*yawn
After that she moved on and worked at many different jobs within the graphics industry; including as a Production Artist at Sicon Signs (formerly The Sicon Group), and as an Airbrush Artist at Hawg Wild Airbrush. Her main focus as of late, is mural painting and digital illustration.
She has done work for companies such as Triumph, The Naam, Save-On-Foods, Tim Horton's, Tsubaki of Canada, The Edmonton Oilers and Vodafone.
She loves to ride her 2022 Harley Davidson Street Bob, and wants to do more travelling.
Some of her favourite illustrators are Norman Rockwell, Graeme Base and Norman Mingo (Mad Magazine).
