Laura Farahzad Mayer is a Milwaukee-based artist and educator. Her experience growing up as the daughter of an Iranian immigrant in a small town informs her work, which navigates through the grief of losing her father while seeking to connect two generations – her father and her children – who were never living at the same time. Her work explores themes of memory, grief, culture, and generational storytelling. Laura is a recipient of the 2026 Mary L. Nohl Fund Fellowships for Individual Artists.
