My name is Laurie Spera Mango. I grew up in Avignon, France, where I studied Applied Arts and Packaging Design.

What a journey it is, with so much to learn. I’ve always loved painting and drawing; in high school, it was my main focus.

I made the decision to move to New Zealand sometime in the late 80s, which would have put me in the 9 to 11-year-old range.

My childhood laid the groundwork for where I’m at as an artist, as I often found myself either drawing, reading or constructing something while dealing with an on again/off again disability.
