Kind Words

  • We've worked with Laura on both photo and video projects in the past, for our band, Mister Rabbit - her unique perspective gave us positive results we couldn't have come up with on our own. She is incredibly passionate & excited about other people's projects & brings an eager attitude to collaborations. We will definitely work with Laura again!
    Jeff van Helvoort (Singer/Guitarist), Mister Rabbit
  • Laura and I worked closely together through the development and presentation of her solo-exhibition at Smokestack Gallery in 2023. Laura's dedicated commitment to her practice and community engagement experience contributed to an exhibition that proved impactful to gallery visitors of the general public and collectors alike. Laura's genuine enthusiasm and responsiveness since the beginning - from the curatorial and artwork production process to exhibition installation and engagement - influenced the great personal and professional relationship we now share.
    Tara Westermann (Gallery Director), Smokestack
  • I’ve had the pleasure of working with Laura on multiple projects. She’s organized, diplomatic, and respectful of deadlines. She’s thoughtful, diligent, and dedicated. She’s one of those people that can work well with absolutely anyone. She is a complete joy to work with!
    Katriina Campitelli (Public Art Curator), City of Toronto, Public Art Office
