In 2005, Laura moved back to Kentucky to focus on her art career and began an experimental art project called Meet-A-Stranger. In 2007, she wrote and performed a piece, based on Meet-A-Stranger, at Actors Theatre of Louisville.

Laura has taught oil painting through Jefferson County Community College continuing education program in Louisville, KY, Open Art Studios in Tacoma, WA, and privately from her home studio.
