I’m Laura, of Laura Beach Printmaker. I have been a fan of art and the process of making art since I was little. I was lucky to have grown up in a household filled with artists and art enthusiasts. I am also a big fan of outside adventures, checking out nature, and learning how the world big and small work through science.

It has been over twenty years since I found my true art love - printmaking. I started out learning how to carve images into wood and linoleum. Shortly thereafter, I added in fonts, graphic design, metal type, luscious paper, and irresistibly heavy machinery with my early 1900s letterpress machine. With the birth of my first little years down the line, I found the joy of screen printing, printing on fabric, and learning how to burn my own screens.

I make small batches of bright and cheery that is inspired by nature, time with my family and immense pleasure in bright colors. All the fun playing in woodcuts, letterpress, and screen printing happens in my studio in Capitola, California.
