Laura Halsey Brown is a neurodivergent intra-disciplinary artist that responds to place. She has worked nationally In San Francisco and New York, and internationally throughout Europe. She has created public art as senseofplace LAB from 2008. She's currently ArtsWA Public Art Directory. Since 2017, she's lived on the PNW Coast, combining her art practice with arts counseling.


Her MFA exhibition from California Institute for the Arts was an interdisciplinary installation combining video, printmaking and sculpture. She moved to New York City after graduating, where she focused on moving image works. She began curating for arts spaces, and creating place-based screenings in public settings. She also showed my site-responsive installations and moving image works internationally, including showing at New Museum in 2001 (based on a LMCC World Trade Center Residency). In 2002, she moved to Rotterdam and received a grant to create public art works that focused on local architecture/architects. Five years later, she moved to San Francisco and started 'senseofplace LAB'. This project of public temporary works responded to location, an architectural setting or a social landscape - to heighten a sense of place.
