From an early age on, Laine spent her time outdoors, playing sports, and making a mess with art projects. Local artist in the Twin Cities, Minnesota, she attained her Bachelor’s degree from Bethel University in Studio Art with a minor in Art History. It wasn’t until studying in New York City that she discovered her passion for pencils.
Using light, texture, inspiration from my love for botany and anatomy, Laine hopes to portray strength through precision, beauty through hues, peace through delicacy, and healing for whomever needs it. What attracts her to this subject matter is the versatility of the warmth and movement in nature, combined with the crisp, complex, technical beauty in anatomy. Creating her anatomy series has given Laine freedom, life, strength, healing, peace, hope and much more. She hopes to instill the same in others.
When she’s not creating, you’ll find her doing anything and everything outdoors – seeking adventures, camping, hiking, canoeing, and running.
Laine resides in Minneapolis, with husband Josh, and their beloved Great Dane, Zinnia.
