Travels, daydreams, field guides, coffee and film. Laura Kay Keeling resides in Toronto, ON and pulls inspiration from beautiful everyday moments shared through her 35mm photography, collage work and installation projects. She has always been drawn to extreme environments and things that come from nature. Her focus is on creating work that instills an overall feeling of calm, curiosity and peacefulness within others as well as introducing opportunities for celebration and self reflection often with her own humorous twist. She aims to explore the idea of “home”, how we utilize and design living spaces and form connections with our communities as well as the internet, social media & the effect on our lives. She is driven to explore the connection between art and nature and environmental elements are often the main focus of her work.

When did you start making art, and why?
I've always been interested in photography, I used to carry around a disposable camera when I was a child. I started to dabble creating collages in 2014 in 2016 I joined Akin Collective and started to apply to exhibit my work.
What kind of artwork do you have in your home?
I'm lucky enough to have some pieces from amazing artists I have met through showing work. Its such a great way to be inspired in my home.
