Laurie M Landry was born in Calgary, Alberta to a nurse and an oil industry worker. They moved to Wells, BC when she was 3 months old, and then to Prince George, BC at the age of 3 for the educational resources available to her as a deaf child. Laurie has always been interested in art since she was young, preferring to draw and colour with crayons, and making sculptures with Play-doh. Her real introduction to art as a vocation was at age 11 or 12, when she attended Wells’ Island Mountain School for the Arts in the late 1970s. Her course was learning how to paint with watercolour with BC artist Edward Epp. Laurie continued to pursue art, excelling in high school, and then to Emily Carr for a semester. After a long break where she worked as a graphic designer, she decided to return to painting as a professional artist. She went back to Emily Carr University of Art & Design and completed the Fine Arts Techniques in 2008, and has since continued training with a mentor program and in-class workshops. In December 2010, she completed training in life drawing at Studio Escalier in Paris, France, where Timothy Stotz and Michelle Tully passed on their training that could be traced back to the Old Masters such as Michelangelo and Raphael. Laurie says: “My biggest highlights of that month in Paris were training at the Montmartre studio that was once the studio of Suzanne Valadon and Henri Toulouse-Lautrec; and being able to sketch-study in the Louvre everyday.” Laurie now lives and paints in Vancouver, BC.

勞裡·M·蘭德里（Laurie M Landry）出生於艾伯塔省卡爾加里，是一名護士和一名石油工業工人。他們在她3個月大的時候搬到了卑詩省的韋爾斯，然後在3歲的時候搬到了卑詩省的喬治王子城，以獲取她作為聾子的教育資源。勞裡（Laurie）從小就對藝術感興趣，她喜歡用蠟筆繪畫和上色，並喜歡用Play-doh製作雕塑。 1970年代末，她在維爾斯島山區藝術學校就讀時，才真正開始將藝術作為職業介紹給11或12歲。她的課程是與BC藝術家Edward Epp學習如何用水彩繪畫。 Laurie繼續追求藝術，在高中時表現出色，然後到Emily Carr上了一個學期。在擔任平面設計師的漫長假期後，她決定重返繪畫界，成為一名專業畫家。她回到艾米麗·卡爾（Emily Carr）藝術與設計大學，並於2008年完成了美術技巧課程，此後繼續接受導師計劃和課堂研討會的培訓。 2010年12月，她在法國巴黎的Escalier工作室完成了生活繪畫方面的培訓，蒂莫西·斯托茲（Timothy Stotz）和米歇爾·塔利（Michelle Tully）在那裡接受了他們的培訓，這些培訓可以追溯到米開朗基羅和拉斐爾等古代大師。勞裡說：“當月我在巴黎最大的亮點是在蒙馬特（Montmartre）工作室進行培訓，該工作室曾經是蘇珊娜·瓦拉登（Suzanne Valadon）和亨利·圖盧茲·勞特累克（Henri Toulouse-Lautrec）的工作室；並能夠每天在羅浮宮中進行素描研究。” Laurie現在在不列顛哥倫比亞省溫哥華生活和繪畫。
