Love from past students……


Bree Edge

I don't think it is too bold of me to say that my art improved immediately. I now have people regularly asking to purchase my work, which is incredibly rewarding. These classes have helped to feed my creativity immeasurably, and I am forever hanging out for the next one!



Danielle Aagenes

Your classes have given me so much joy, inspiration, and insight into the world of art. Your classes have taught me more about art in the past 4 years than I ever learned in college. You gave me the inspiration and the final push I needed to start creating again.

Kirsty Moyes

I have done every single one of Laura’s courses, and the knowledge I have gained is phenomenal. I am confident to try new techniques and be resilient when things don’t go quite as planned! I have found joy and peace on this journey and have even begun to sell my work, which is such an achievement.

A Quick Word About Supplies


This class focuses on acrylic painting with optional mixed media elements. To get started, you will need some acrylic paints, a large canvas, and brushes. You can find full details of my preferred supplies in the supply list, but please don’t feel pressured to have everything I use. You can begin with student-grade supplies and invest in higher quality items as you grow to enjoy the process.

Many of my students prefer to watch the class first before deciding on their supply choices.


I've had the joy and privilege of teaching over 40,000 students across the globe through my online classes.


Meet Laura, your teacher



Hello, I'm Laura

I'm a mixed media artist from Adelaide, South Australia. Ten years ago, I picked up a paintbrush. I had two young children, and like many mothers, I felt a little lost among all the nappies.

As soon as I reconnected with my creativity, I felt a spark. I quickly fell in love with all things art. The yummy supplies, the supportive community, and the sense of purpose and satisfaction that came from doing something I truly loved.

I followed my passion and built a beautiful, messy life around it. Things rarely went to plan, but I amazed myself with the things that I could do. From selling my work at markets and cafes to running a retreat in Bali, right through to hosting a top-rated art podcast.

Tapping into my creativity gave me clarity and confidence, and it can do this for you too.
