About Laura Lobdell

I create coastal-inspired art and products. It’s my hope that by bringing my art into your home, you’ll feel transported back to your favorite coastline; perhaps treasuring a piece I’ve created as you’ve once treasured gifts collected from the sea.

A little about me... 

I began my career in graphic design, and much of what I do today is rooted in and well served by my extensive design background. On any given day, you may find me creating a new painting, sketching plans for future collections, or gathering inspiration by the sea. Much of my art is influenced by my coastal surroundings. I live and work in the Wilmington, North Carolina area with my husband and our two creative, ocean loving children.
