Mia Laing is a professional artist who has been working in the Western Suburbs for the past 12 years. Throughout this time, she has been the proud recipient of numerous awards. Her passion for art began with her pursuit of a career in children’s illustration, a field that continues to interest her. Laing’s current artwork is focused on narrative illustration and is characterized by its humour, joyfulness, and sense of fun. She also creates traditional still life, figurative work, and landscape pieces.
Laing’s artwork is intended to spark conversation and bring joy to her collectors. In 2018, she began a series featuring wildlife and pets in their “Secret Life,” which parodies famous figures from different eras. Some of her creations include a leopard as James Bond, a cat as Audrey Hepburn, and a corgi as Queen Elizabeth. Laing has expanded this series over time and now adds to it through commissions of people’s pets. Her prints can be found on her website.
Laing has deep ties to Subiaco, having grown up in a neighbouring suburb. Many of her supporting businesses, such as Jacksons Art Supplies, Mirage Digital, and Eye Q (her optometrist), are located in Subiaco. The West Australian Society of Arts, of which Laing is a long-term member, also has its base in Subiaco. Laing has exhibited her work regularly at two cafes in Subiaco. “Having all these businesses close to home is incredibly convenient,” she says.
