ABOUT THE ART OF LAURA LEAH LINDEMAN

Laura Leah Lindeman is a Cree artist whose work blends emotional depth with intentional design. Known for her ability to bring unexpected colours into harmony, Laura creates abstract pieces that reveal more with every glance — subtle details, layered stories, and gentle moments of recognition.

Her paintings are shaped by themes from nature, faith, and lived experience. While her work carries energetic movement, there is always an underlying sense of order and purpose. Nothing is random. Everything is placed with care.

ORIGIN STORY

Laura’s artistic journey began in childhood. Encouraged by her father to pursue creativity, she grew up wanting to become an animator — a dream that continues to influence her light, illustrative touch within her abstract style.

Her work uses vibrant, expressive palettes that refuse to be confined. Indigenous themes appear throughout, but always softly, rewarding viewers who take a closer look.

In 2010, Laura created the first Glow Owl — a glow-in-the-dark owl made by letting paint drip naturally across a wet canvas. Though the original piece was lost, its spirit endured.

By 2012, she had her breakthrough exhibitions at Gallery 101 and Fall Down Gallery during Asinabka in Ottawa, marking her debut among Indigenous artists.

In 2020, she reimagined the Glow Owl as a refined symbol for hoodies, hats, and stickers — a way to let others carry her art with them.

In 2026, Laura expanded that vision by designing Faraday hoodies and caps with optional EMF-shielding. The Glow Owl was rebranded as "NO SIGNAL, ALL INSTINCT". a reminder to stay grounded, aware, and protective of one’s space.

TODAY

Laura continues to paint, design, and evolve her creative voice. Her work aims to bring beauty, reflection, and a sense of calm order to those who experience it — whether on canvas or through artist-designed apparel.

Hoodie Options:

• Standard artist-designed hoodies: $60–$90
• EMF-shielded Faraday hoodies: $130–$250

Her art is created to be lived with, appreciated slowly, and returned to often — each piece inviting viewers to look again, and see something new.
