About Laura Margo

Laura Headshot
I'm delighted you're here.

Hello there! I'm Laura Margo.

Creative works transform common spaces and transport you to your favorite places. A mural can let you live surrounded by woods, sleep under the stars, or stroll past the flowers of Giverny all year round, from anywhere. Murals, and the act of creating art together, has the power to spark conversations, enliven education, and invigorate communities.

My love of mural painting and collaborative art-making events began as a Peace Corps Volunteer, painting murals for elementary schools in Lesotho, Africa, and since then, I have led many classes and workshops, and completed projects for businesses, non-profits, and residential clients. 

Please explore my website and reach out if I can help you transform your space, uplift your community, and brighten your life.

Thank you and take care,

Laura M. Johnson
