Laura Terese Art
Hello there!
I am Laura Terese
I am an Idaho mixed-media artist inspired by nature, memory, and the wonder of childhood. Through layers of acrylic paint, handmade collage, and treasured pieces of my daughter’s childhood drawings, I create whimsical, heartfelt artwork celebrating connection, belonging, and the idea that home is something we carry within us.
My story
Raised on a family farm in McCall, Idaho, I grew up surrounded by open land, animals, and native wildlife. Living closely with nature and the changing seasons shaped my connection to place, storytelling, and the beauty found in everyday moments.
My grandmother introduced me to painting, sparking a lifelong love of art. With the encouragement of my parents, this early experience inspired me to continue exploring and developing my artistic voice.
After leaving home, I built my career as a professional designer, I continued to explore illustration and personal art alongside my work. Designing visual and digital experiences for organizations ranging from small businesses to global companies deepened my approach to storytelling, composition, and thoughtful design.

Today, I am expanding my fine art practice, developing a body of mixed media paintings rooted in personal history, symbolism, and narrative. Through my involvement in the local arts community, I actively share my work, collaborate with other artists, and help cultivate a growing culture of creativity and connection in Idaho.
