Laura Cott is a painter, illustrator, and artist living in Orchard Park, NY. Inspired by natural elements, her work celebrates minimalistic design, color combinations, linework, and patterns inspired by nature. She has run her company LaCott Fine Art since 2015, focusing on mixed media, watercolor and alcohol ink inspired paintings, ceramic goods, and functional items for the home. Cott’s art reflects natural surroundings and the visual storytelling of the interaction of light, line, and color. She works primarily with paint and non-traditional materials. Her philosophy toward creating work focuses on the idea that everything is a product of creative experiences, artistic choices, and creative problem-solving. Her pieces are an opportunity for people who may not seek out traditional fine art, capture a part of it in their everyday life.
