Laura Whent was born in 1983 and has lived on the North shore of Lake Superior her whole life. Primarily a self-taught artist, Laura has a strong inclination to creatures of any sort, and has a particular love of monsters and mythological beasties. She's had her artwork published in several issues of Fang, Claw and Steel, a small press fanzine dedicated to positive and non-typical portrayals of werewolves and other werecreatures. She's also done artwork for The End is Nigh, a zine based in the UK. Her first solo animated short, Give A Dog A Bone has appeared on BiteTV.

Laura is trained as an animator, with a preference for 2D. Outside of animation, she has a growing interest in comics, has dabbled with writing, and has been doing what creature costuming she can manage with whatever materials she can get her hands on for the last six or seven years. Though trained as an animator, what she'd really love to do (and keeps being told she should) is work in a creature shop making monsters all day.
