Laura Shaw

Sheridan College in Ontario, Canada, was where I first studied fine art and illustration. My career as an art director in conventional ads evolved into an award-winning Creative Director at an industry-leading digital experience agency, where I helped design and develop experiential content for some of the world's most well-known brands over 20 years.

Connecting and discovering art in a variety of mediums and styles helps to articulate inspiration and feed my spirit, particularly after a day spent ideating for screens.

To begin, I like to consider a topic or theme of interest, and then choose a medium that best suits the theme. I'm fascinated by mid-century architecture, the human form, and Northern Ontario cottage life, all of which find their way into my work.
