Laura Chenault
Laura Chenault is an interdisciplinary artist creating art from a feminist and a post-modernist perspective. She believes concept and content must work hand-in-hand with presentation and display. Medium, scale, and delivery are critical components of every project. Her process begins in her extensive journals that are filled with notes, scribbles, ramblings, and inspiration. Form and function are always considered as the foundation of the initial image making. With time and perseverance, ideas take fruition.
She has a BFA in photography from the University of Illinois. The disciplines she works in are photography, collage, book arts, installation art, performance, printmaking, and film making. She owns Laurel Tree Bindery specializing in one of a kind books and short print runs of poetry chapbooks, art books, short stories, children’s books, genealogies & memoirs, custom wedding & baby books, and photo book.
Laura currently serves as the co-chair and marketing director for the Philadelphia Maker Faire and co-hosts the podcast featuring makers from Philly and around the world. In addition, Laura co-organizes the Queer Zest Zine Fest. She is also the chair of the Niagara Beautification Commission in Niagara Falls, NY.
