Laura Daub is an artist living in Ottawa, Canada who applies 20 years of study and practice in art, illustration and fashion design into her mixed-media paper artwork and soldered jewellery. Laura is also an environmentally-conscious, socially responsible person who believes we should all endeavour to have a content, inspired soul and a healthy, creative environment to live in. She strives to reflect this in her work using inspirational words and themes and hopes to inspire others to live a life filled with joy.

“Art, illustration and design are always at the foremost of my thoughts and I have found I am able to focus on my daily inspiration with mixed-media paper artwork. Handmade papers, ink, acrylics, found objects and varied lettering styles are layered on watercolour paper, wood canvas or soldered under glass for engaging textural effects. For my jewellery, I combine inspirational art or words under soldered glass, silver strands and shiny beads with recycled fabrics to produce one-of-a-kind, wearable art. In each series, my focus is purely on eye-pleasing design emulating striking colour combinations incorporated throughout arts and fashion and my whimsical pieces seem to delight both young and the young at heart.”
