Laura Frances Martin

I work across visual arts, writing, performance and arts producing, and I live & work in Cornwall in the UK. I believe that our involvement in, and our enjoyment of, art in all its forms can offer us all a vital sense of wonder and connection: something we need now more than ever.

making

As a visual artist I love to create large scale builds for festivals and events; I work in different media across 2D, 3D and photography; and I lead a diversity of creative arts workshops for people of all ages. More

performing

As a Spotlight actress I've worked on site specific dance, theatre, film & TV projects chiefly in Cornwall and the SW; I work in voice-over and as a vocalist; and I use performative elements in my art commissions. More

producing

I produce arts events, festivals and projects, including, as a Core ARTiculate artist, the Island Light Festivals on Scilly and Words On The Wing; and as a Director of Wadebridge Creative Hub, BikeLights & the FIRE & STEAM project. More

words

I have a deep love of words and have always used writing as a tool in all of my professional job roles; recently my own creative work involving words has been gaining more personal and exciting ground. More
