Welcome to La’s world
Hi, I’m Laura (La for short) ~ the artist behind The Land of La, a little world of watercolor & paper, rooted in meaning, joy & everyday magic. It all began when I hand-painted my own wedding invitations, after nothing else felt quite like us, and it’s stayed personal ever since. Every piece I make, from a single card to a full collection, carries that same spirit, whether it’s a zodiac sign or a hot dog with a candle in it.
Before this, I spent 10 years as an art director at InStyle Magazine, immersed in visual storytelling and editorial design. That eye for detail now shapes everything I create, from stationery to brand collaborations to the small, meaningful moments in between.
