Laura Ball’s work combines her technical achievements in watercolor with an ongoing part-psychoanalytical, part-environmental project she has explored for over fifteen years. She received her MFA in 2004 from the University of California, Berkeley.

Ball has exhibited at the Denver Art Museum, the Berkeley Art Museum, the US Embassy in Stockholm, the Strozzina (Florence, IT), the Hudson River Museum, the San Diego History Center, David B. Smith Gallery (Denver, CO), and Morgan Lehman Gallery (New York, NY), among others. Her work is in numerous public and private collections including the Denver Art Museum, LACMA, the Cleveland Clinic, JPMorganChase, Fidelity Investments, 21C, the Progressive Collection, UC San Diego Health, Roanoke College, Sonoma State University and the West Collection.

She currently lives and works in San Diego with her cat-child, Mowgli.
