Come inside the course and discover the art of creating stunning, layered botanical pieces!

Are you ready to let your creativity bloom in new and inspiring ways?


In Flourish and Flow, you’ll learn a unique process for blending rich, textured backgrounds with delicate, flowing botanicals. Starting with layers of acrylic and mixed media, I’ll guide you through creating vibrant backgrounds using techniques like etching, finger painting, and dripping to add texture and contrast. Then, we’ll layer in sheer, flowing botanicals with a distinctive acrylic ink technique.

This class is a springboard for ongoing exploration. You’ll gain skills that can be adapted to different surfaces, from wood to paper, creating endless variations to push your botanical art further.

Love from past students……


Maggie Latham

I have grown so much as an artist after taking Laura’s classes. Her classes are filmed professionally, and she is a delightful, inspiring teacher. I love the fact that it is a family run art business and that Laura’s husband is involved in the filming. The classes are genuine, encouraging, easy to follow, and authentic. 

Annette Crampton

I’ve been trying to find my style for years, and Laura's classes helped me finally find myself. Her relaxed approach and beautifully designed classes let me 'play' while taking my art seriously. Laura encourages curiosity over rules, giving me the freedom to explore without the pressure of perfection. I’m so grateful to have discovered my style as an abstract artist in her classes!

Mary Ann Siano

Laura’s classes have given me the freedom to use mark-making, experiment with colors, and explore diverse tools on my canvas. Even while following her instructions, the end result is totally my style. I love that! Taking a class with Laura feels like having a friend beside you, explaining and encouraging you as you work.

A Quick Word About Supplies


This class focuses on acrylic painting with optional mixed media elements. To get started, you will need some heavy-bodied acrylic paints, acrylic inks, wood panels or canvases, watercolour paper, and some brushes. You can find full details of my preferred supplies in the supply list, but please don’t feel pressured to have everything I use. You can begin with student-grade supplies and invest in higher quality items as you grow to enjoy the process.

Many of my students prefer to watch the class first before deciding on their supply choices.



I've had the joy and privilege of teaching over 40,000 students across the globe through my online classes.


Meet Laura, your teacher


Hello, I'm Laura

I'm a mixed media artist from Adelaide, South Australia. Ten years ago, I picked up a paintbrush. I had two young children, and like many mothers, I felt a little lost among all the nappies.

As soon as I reconnected with my creativity, I felt a spark. I quickly fell in love with all things art. The yummy supplies, the supportive community, and the sense of purpose and satisfaction that came from doing something I truly loved.

I followed my passion and built a beautiful, messy life around it. Things rarely went to plan, but I amazed myself with the things that I could do. From selling my work at markets and cafes to running a retreat in Bali, right through to hosting a top-rated art podcast.

Tapping into my creativity gave me clarity and confidence, and it can do this for you too.
