Artist Bio

Laura Douglas is an artist living and working in Montreal, QC. She works primarily in oil paint, as well as textiles and mixed-media,. She grew up on the small island community of Wolfe Island, Ontario, surrounded by grassy fields, farmland, and freshwater, an environment and experience which informs much of her work. Her work frequently explores places of thinned boundaries between humans and nature (abandoned buildings, overgrown roadsides, worn-out trail-markers), land, plants, and issues of human impact on landscapes and the earth. She is pursuing a BFA Specialization in Art Education at Concordia University, having previously completed a BA in English (Minor in Environment) from McGill University (2014). Her work has been exhibited in both solo and group shows in Montreal and in Ontario. It has also appeared in online and print publications including Rookie.
