Laura Marotta explores the charisma of geometry and the intersection of architecture, and modular construction. She disrupts traditional grid systems to create large-scale, community engaged sculptures. Her forms function as social prompts, connecting diverse audiences, encouraging interaction, and serving a multiplicity of needs.

She received her MFA from the University of Guelph, where she received the Joseph-Armand Bombardier Canada Graduate Scholarship, and a College of the Arts Deans Scholarship.

Her work has been exhibited in significant exhibitions at the University of Waterloo Art Gallery, Art Gallery of Hamilton, Art Gallery of Windsor, Art Gallery of Mississauga, and McMaster Museum of Art. Her work was also spotlighted at the 2017 Public Art Year in Review Summit.

Permanent public art commissions include Octagon for Trafalgar Park commissioned by the Town of Oakville, and Bead Maze commissioned by Metrolinx and the City of Hamilton. She is a recipient of the 2015 Established Artist Award from the City of Hamilton, and grants from the Ontario Arts Council.

She is based in Hamilton, Ontario.
