A mixed media collage artist, photographer, and writer, Laura Bray focuses on themes of nature, history, food/wine, and travel. She also enjoys researching Texas history and her deep east Texas family roots.

Her visual work has appeared in shows sponsored by the Boerne Visual Artists and Texas Master Naturalists. She writes regularly for her local newspaper, the Boerne Star, and published a series of online stories about the recovery from Hurricane Harvey. Her written and visual work also appeared in "Through Layered Limestone: a Texas Hill Country anthology of place," published in October 2019 by the Patrick Heath Public Library in Boerne, TX. See her full bibliography here.

Born in Midland, she moved to Houston with her family and attended Texas A&M University. After many years of living outside of Texas, she and her husband Bruce returned (for good!) to the Lone Star State with a move to San Antonio. She currently resides in Boerne, a small Hill Country town with a rich German historical heritage.

As a fifth-generation Texan who grew up in the Texas oil industry, the New London School Explosion has filled her imagination for years. With her novel Strong at the Broken Places (in development), she wanted to find a way to bring more attention to this tragic event that few people—Texans or otherwise—know anything about.
