A little about me

Hi, I am Laura Louise,

I'm a full-time furniture artist based in Austin, TX, and painting is my passion. Yet, above all, I thrive on joy and laughter! Given the choice, I'd opt for a lunch with friends, a game, or a leisurely stroll over adult responsibilities any day. It's no wonder I spent over two decades as a teacher before rediscovering my true calling in the art world—it feels like home to me.

My artistic journey began with a major in art during college, but I second-guessed myself and eventually transitioned into teaching. Now, I've seamlessly merged my two passions, and the experience has been nothing short of exhilarating! There's nothing quite like helping others breathe new life into their old furniture, infusing it with fresh colors and meaningful designs. I'm particularly thrilled about my children's/teens furniture line and upcoming clothing collection, where I can showcase my own creative pieces.

Teaching remains a significant part of my life—I offer mobile chalk painting and private paint classes to share my enthusiasm with fellow art enthusiasts. When I'm not immersed in painting, you'll find me cherishing moments with my family, embarking on backpacking adventures, indulging in nature walks, socializing with friends, or supporting my husband and best friend as he pursues his aspirations.

My ultimate Joy is to cater to your needs for painted furniture and workshops, as I continue to explore my diverse artistic interests, including creating new watercolor cards.
