Laura Shallcrass

Laura Shallcrass is an exceptional visual artist and author, her work celebrating nature and natural beauty. This is a central theme throughout her work; preservation of the natural world, female empowerment and mental health wellbeing. Her storytelling uses a style of quiet, contemplative poetry, with multiple visual narratives and for the reader the added layer of hidden details, a signature of her work.

Laura has held four solo shows as well as exhibiting in a number of group shows and she was a finalist for the Red Book Art Prize in 2013. Her works are published in the Red Book, Remix and Extra Curricular alongside several publications in New Zealand and Australia.

Laura works out of her home in the hills near Queenstown, New Zealand, where she lives with her husband, two kids and an eve-growing menagerie of furry friends.
