Hello and welcome!
I’m Laura, the artist behind NÖRDmi. I’m flattered and honored that you’re interested in learning more about my work. While watercolor is my passion, I also love exploring ink, photography, linocut, woodworking, and just about any medium I can get my hands on. At the heart of it all, though, I’m a watercolor artist inspired by the Northern Michigan lifestyle I adore.
​
NÖRDmi reflects the natural beauty and spirit of this incredible region. Michigan is a treasure trove of contrasts, home to bustling cities, tranquil farmland, wild rivers, and deep forests—all framed by the Great Lakes. In 2020, I unearthed my long-held love for watercolor painting, and this website was born. In 2022, I was fortunate enough to move full-time to the forest with my partner, Chris, where we spend our free time hiking, kayaking, and simply soaking in the endless inspiration of nature.
​
I’m proud to share my work in Michigan galleries and art fairs, but I wanted to bring that same personal experience online. When you visit NORDmi.com, I hope you’ll feel as though you’re stepping into my booth at an art fair—surrounded by vibrant watercolor prints of Michigan wildlife, chatting with me about the stories and adventures that inspire each piece.
​
This website is my personal space, thoughtfully crafted to reflect that same connection and built with Wix’s latest security features to ensure your shopping experience is safe. Every order you place comes directly to me—no warehouses or middlemen. Here’s how it works: I carefully pull your chosen piece from my studio, wrap it in snug and protective packaging, and often add a little personal note of gratitude. Then, I make the drive to the post office, chat with the friendly clerk about the weather or season, and send your package on its way to you.
​
You may wonder why I don’t sell on platforms like Etsy, TikTok, or Facebook Marketplace. For me, this direct connection is far more meaningful. Running NORDmi.com allows me to focus on creating a uniquely personal experience and sharing my art without the impersonal nature and fees of third-party platforms.
​
Take a look around—my inventory changes daily as I paint and create new pieces inspired by the world around me. If you have questions or just want to connect, please don’t hesitate to reach out. You can also follow NÖRDmi on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok to stay updated on my latest creations and news.
​
Thank you for stopping by and for supporting my passion for watercolor artistry. Every step of this journey is done with love, care, and gratitude—just as if I were handing the art directly to you in person.
​
Warmly,
Laura
