Hello, there…I’m Laura Irrgang!

I’m an artist.
A performer.
A dreamer.

I spend my days making things in my studio in the Texas woods. I’ve spent the past 25 years working in the arts. I split my time between costume design, fine art/ illustration, writing, and performance.

I have a degree in Art and Theater, where I studied painting, costume and set design, acting, music, and dance. Making gorgeous, unique pieces for performers is my passion.

My career spans many different creative paths, from illustrating books to managing an art gallery, from painting murals to playing harp and singing, from teaching art to cartooning.

In circus, I’ve worked as an aerialist, dancer, actor, writer, and voice performer. I truly know the specific needs athletes and artists have while dangling in the air. Striving to provide safe, apparatus-appropriate costumes is my aim. That, and to make you luminous! If there is a rhinestone, I will glue it on something. If there is a stage, I will be in on it with a smile, or behind it helping others to shine.

I find my design inspiration EVERYWHERE:
Fairy tales, the woods, old Hollywood movies, literature, the ocean, and art history are a few of my favorite starting places.

It’s time to SPARKLE!
