Laura Jane Petelko is a Canadian photographic artist, currently based in Toronto, Canada. Having studied in Vancouver, Laura Jane began her career in the arts there in the early 2000’s. Petelko studied and worked as a master printer for west coast based photographic artists such as Harmony Korine, Kelly Wood, Roy Arden, and Mark Gilbert. Laura Jane was represented by Vancouver’s Third Avenue Gallery for several years before she moved back to Toronto. Currently, Laura Jane is evolving two bodies of work. Featured here is the nostalgic and sparse Endless Gone series, which has been featured at the 2018 opening of the New York City’s Highline project by the late Zaha Hadid. The more enigmatic Soft Stories explores our longing for connection with nature and our sense of intimacy. It was featured by Scope Fair Miami and New York in 2019 and in Blank Spaces magazine following her solo exhibition in Toronto in late 2019. Her photographs are characterized by their personal and intimate subject matter, often dealing with the nature of one’s identity and themes of transformation. Laura Jane’s work has been recognized and exhibited in Toronto, Vancouver, Seattle, Miami, Brussels and New York. She has collectors in North America and Europe.
