Laura Nilsson – Eagle Painted Rock

Laura Nilsson is a Mètis artist who was born and raised in Lac du Bonnet, MB. Since 2005, Laura has been a farrier, horse trainer and coach. She has had success selling her paintings, glass etchings, Ukrainian Easter eggs and other art pieces as a hobby. Most recently, she began making beaded earrings and medallion necklaces as a way to connect with her Mètis heritage. Laura and her husband, Marc, live in a beautiful wooded area in the RM of Lac du Bonnet with their cats, dogs and horses. Laura gets much of her inspiration for her art when she is working with horses and when she is canoeing, fishing, berry picking and cross country skiing.
