Laura Stokes is a self taught artist from the Los Angeles Area. Her mediums include collage and wood working.

"I love to work with vintage fabrics, old images, wrapping paper, old brochures and ads, and just about anything that catches my eye. My art has taken on the forms of shadow boxes, wood altars, and collages. I often use images that are overlooked at first glance and use them in different and unique ways, a sort of way to bring new life to what would normally be discarded."

Most of the pieces are paper collage on wood, with a varnish coating to protect the images. Some of the earlier pieces are signed with my art name Velour. If you have any questions or comments please email me at info@charcoaldesigns.com.
