Laura Jones in Vogue Living’s VL50 2025 List

The VL50 is the last word on the Australian design industry’s top talent. This year’s list honours the maestros of their métier alongside enterprising innovators and rapidly rising stars selected for their creativity, dedication to craft and contribution to community.

For Laura Jones, art shares fresh perspectives on life and reminds the viewer that they aren’t alone in the pursuit of beauty. “I love connecting with creative people who are constantly coming up with new ideas while using their platforms to fight for environmental and social causes,” she says. Her colourful floral still-lifes expose environmental vulnerabilities, and though there’s an uneasiness and looseness in the paint, there’s sensitivity and wonder in the dissonance.
