My name is Laura Christensen. I live San Diego, CA and I love to create art and craft with my hands. I work in many mediums. As a long time artist you will find me hiking the local trails taking hundreds of photos finding inspiration in natural surroundings, from roaming our amazing coast in awe of every shell or picking up broken glass in the street, just because it has so much potential. Recently I've enjoyed lino printing and gelli printing. The possibility for techniques  are endless and are a great vehicle to express my mind's eye. 

While my father is an Architect who taught me the lessons of good design, my mother taught me to craft for life. She is an Alaska native (Unangan) from Unalaska. I find lino prints are a great medium for Unangan themed scenes. My hertitage speaks loudly to me when I create, and my work is often tribal flavored in nature with a Californian feel.

My goal is to live my life artfully, to be true to the making of what I create, and continue searching for and telling my story.
