How do Brand Collaborations Work?
Conceptualisation: Laura and the collaborating brand engage in a creative dialogue to understand the brand's values, message, and goals.
Ideation: Based on the brand's essence, Laura conceptualises artwork ideas that align seamlessly with the brand's identity.
Proposal: Laura presents a proposal outlining the concepts, medium, size, and artistic approach for the collaboration.
Agreement: Once the proposal is approved, both parties formalise the collaboration through an agreement that outlines project details, timelines, and compensation.
Creation: Laura crafts the artwork, infusing it with her signature style while integrating elements that reflect the brand's narrative.
Publishing: The final artwork may then be used by the brand or business on a commercial licence, with the ability to sell the artwork on products/merchandise – or simply display the final piece as an original one-of-a-kind artwork in an office space.
Why Choose to Collaborate?
Brand Enhancement: Collaborations infuse a brand with a unique artistic dimension, setting it apart and making it memorable.
Storytelling: Artwork collaborations visually narrate the brand's story, values, and vision in a captivating and emotionally resonant manner.
Engagement: Collaborative artwork captures the attention of audiences, encouraging them to engage with the brand on a deeper level.
Community Building: Collaborations cultivate a sense of community and shared appreciation for art and creativity.

Previous Collaborations
Celebrating Friendship and Creativity: Laura Luke X Embella Jewellery
My first collaboration was more than just a professional partnership. When my dear friend Sally, owner and designer of Embella Jewellery, came to me with a request for some exclusive artwork for her business’ gift cards, I was so excited to get to work!
Our friendship dates back to childhood when we connected over a shared love of dancing. I admired Sally’s presence and flare when she took the stage, she is a natural creative! Over the many years and challenges along the way, Sally has always been there with kind words of encouragement, reigniting my confidence and creativity. Her gutsy determination and admirable originality are refreshing, so it’s no surprise that she created her own Australian Jewellery empire!
So, I set to work collaborating with my favourite jewellery brand!
After a long catch-up, Sally and I chatted about her ideas for the artwork. In a nod to our shared appreciation of the ocean and its wonders, I designed two artworks to capture the essence of connection, joy and the tranquillity of the sea. Dolphins and Turtles, two of the ocean’s most beloved creatures, were chosen as the central motifs in my designs. You can now find ‘Align & Glide’ and ‘With You’ as exclusive artworks at Embella Jewellery in Darwin, Yamba and online, visit www.embella.com.au.
To dancing and creativity.
A toast to our friendship.
Ningaloo: Laura Luke X Embella Jewellery
After the success of our first collaboration, Sally from Embella Jewellery was keen to work again on a project for one of her jewellery collections.
During April of 2023, Sally would be visiting Exmouth in Western Australia to witness the Solar Eclipse and experience one of those most special, bucket-list moments: swimming with Whale Sharks! In preparation for this awesome adventure, Sally created the most beautiful jewellery collection to celebrate the Ningaloo Reef, home to the Whale Shark from March to August each year. It was only natural then, that Sally would ask for a Whale Shark drawing as the artwork to compliment her jewellery collection.

This part of the world is very dear to me. After a family bereavement, a friend invited me to join her on a road trip from Perth to Ningaloo Reef.
Despite my grief, the sheer beauty of the views gently forced me to be still and present momentarily to appreciate the intensity and contrast of the harsh red earth against the picturesque turquoise ocean. It was something I had never experienced before.
I felt a spiritual connection with the place, immersed in nature, surfing and snorkelling, and talking to the people around us. It was healing in a way that made me believe everything would be okay in time. It was a great reminder that the world is beautiful and magical, and our loved ones are always with us.

'She is gentle, she is kind,
with the warmth of sunshine
every time.
Tales shared from long ago,
with mystery and beauty
to take it slow.'
