Laura Bedard is a marine artist whose work grows from a lifelong fascination with the sea. Raised along the Massachusetts coast, she learned early to watch the water closely to notice its rhythms, its moods, and the quiet presence of the animals living beneath its surface.

Laura is especially drawn to octopuses, sea turtles, seahorses, and whales, painting them not just as subjects, but as fellow beings with character and spirit. Working in watercolor she seeks to capture their movement and individuality.

She is the resident artist for Lost Horizons Cape Cod, where her work lives within luxury and historic vacation homes, and she has illustrated two children’s books—one created to gently raise awareness about Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). Through her art, Laura hopes to foster curiosity, empathy, and care for the natural world that has shaped her life so profoundly.
