BREATHE LIFE INTO by LAURA MITSU

ABOUT THE ARTIST

A self-taught artist, Laura Mitsu originally started in the culinary arts, working as a line cook and sous chef for almost a decade in both southern CA and NYC. Her love of making art with her hands carried over into pursuing visual art full­-time as a painter in 2022. In her Oakland-based studio, Mitsu uses curiosity, experimentation, and intuition as guides throughout her creative process. 

Mitsu's work resides in private collections across the US and internationally. Her abstract paintings have been featured in multiple editions of House & Garden UK Magazine in the fall of 2022. Her work has been displayed in juried shows in the Bay Area, CA and online. Mitsu’s debut solo exhibition, Poetic Abstraction, was held in April and May 2024 at 2358 MRKT Gallery in San Francisco, CA.
