About The Artist

Hello, I'm Laura Mitsu.
I find freedom from the literal world in abstract art.
My work is rooted in the exploration and expression of emotion, connection, and transformation. I aim to create work that is a mirror for you to see yourself in. It may reveal feelings, memories, and insights about yourself and how you view the world. Poetry written by me often accompanies my artwork, adding to the quiet conversation between the viewer and the painting.
