Mia Laing
-
Mia has been painting professionally in oils since 2012. Although she initially dabbled in children's illustration, this genre continues to significantly influence her current artwork. Her recent pieces are narrative-driven, often laced with humor, and are intricately detailed, crafted from numerous reference photos, featuring Australian birds and botanicals.
Mia's artworks are featured in private collections worldwide, with many collectors returning for additional pieces to adorn their homes. She has received several art awards, including the coveted People’s Choice award on multiple occasions. Collectors frequently describe her works as 'emotionally uplifting', a compliment of which she is proud.
Mia actively explores and embraces non-traditional avenues for showcasing her art, keeping her artistic journey vibrant and dynamic. She enjoys licensing her work with Lalalandshop Australia and has collaborated with Disney Australia, Screen Australia, and Dingo Jazz Magazine. Recently, she created two bespoke artworks for prints at the newly renovated Timothee Resort in Busselton, Western Australia.
