About

Greetings and thank you for visiting Laura Marie Studios!

​

Laura Rodriguez is a Mexican-American artist who works toward developing a visual story that informs and enriches the global and cultural conversations in which we actively participate each day. Her graduate degree in Global Technology and Development has greatly impacted her world view and ultimately her artwork. Having the privilege of traveling to places such as Greece, Turkey, Mexico, Spain, and China serve as inspiration to visually express and celebrate our differences, and more importantly, our unity as a collective body of global citizens. 

 

Laura received art training from mentors at Arizona State University, the Art Students League of New York, and the constant legacies that inhabit the walls of The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

​

Laura currently resides in Phoenix, AZ.

Artist Statement

Through the interwoven languages of embroidery, collage, and paint, my work seeks to honor the layered stories of women — their resilience, their wildness, their quiet transformations. My collections spotlight the complexity of female identity, threading together narratives that have often been overlooked or left untold.

​

I am drawn to the points where strength and vulnerability meet — where survival, memory, and becoming unfold in vivid detail. Using mixed media allows me to physically build these layers into each piece, echoing the textured histories my subjects carry. Fabric, thread, found imagery, and pigment come together not just as materials, but as metaphors: stitching what has been fractured, reassembling what has been scattered, painting what has been silenced.

​

By tracing the wild, tender, and resilient paths of women, I seek to illuminate their stories not as fixed narratives, but as living, breathing forces.
