Laura Dunn Artist Biography

Laura Dunn is an acrylic painter and mixed media artist based on St. Simons Island, Georgia, where she lives with her husband and their 2 young children. She graduated from Salem College with a BA in Interior Design and has since worked in various parts of the building and design industry as well as the arts.

As a child, Laura grew up inside commercial greenhouses, her family’s business. Her earliest memories are of flowers that she examined at eye level and being completely surrounded by hanging ferns. This perspective has stayed with her and is the reason she captures blooms and foliage up close. The exhilaration of being enveloped by ferns or examining buds and blooms up close is imprinted in her memory.

In 2023, Laura’s work was selected by Liz Lidgett of Liz Lidgett Gallery to be featured in the independent arts magazine Arts to Hearts Magazine issue #3 and that same year was also included in the national publication In Her Studio, volume 6 issue 2. She has shown with the Scouted Studio’s Emerging Artist Show, participated in The Spotlight on Art in Atlanta in January of 2024 and in April of 2025 will have her first solo exhibition in the Portman Gallery of Glynn Visual Arts on St Simons Island, Georgia.
