About
Laura is a queer background artist and Los Angeles transplant from Griswold, CT.
Since moving to California in 2017, they’ve had the opportunity to work in a wide range of creative industries. Prior to breaking into animation, they worked as a Graphic Designer for a prop studio in North Hollywood, where they designed and produced printed props for TV, movies, and commercials. Before that, they worked at a custom signage shop in Irvine, creating dimensional signs and vinyl graphics for various local businesses.
Upon pivoting to animation in 2020, Laura has worked as a background painter on several 2D animated series (Final Space, Beavis & Butt-Head, TheOdd1sOut, and an unannounced pilot for ComedyCentral, which they are very excited about!) Most recently, they’ve branched out into background design, as well, providing both line and color for indie series Skobeloff Forest, and a 2D/3D animated video game trailer for Highstreet Market.
Outside of work, Laura enjoys hiking and camping, caring for injured honeybees, whittling, and walking their two kitties: Ziggy Stardust & Eddie Van Halen!
