    LaBeouf is a noted Los Angeles jewelry and purse designer whose collections were represented in trendy boutiques in Los Angeles and New York, including Henri Bendel. For the past 12 years, she has devoted herself to her private art practice. Her current body of work is the culmination of a lifetime of creative endeavors.

    LaBeouf's delightful tableaux, showcased in elegant shadow boxes, are the distilled result of the artist's personal meditations on love, compassion, and acceptance, including the sacred bond between mother and child. The transcendent constructions combine ephemera and mementos, including archetypal images of women, gemstones, and vintage found objects. The subject matter and modes of execution in LaBeouf's work link to 20th century art currents such as the magical naïve art of Henri Rousseau, the personal surrealism of Frida Kahlo, and the celebration of the Feminine by artist Judy Chicago.

    A portion of the proceeds from the exhibition will be donated in part to Artists for Trauma, a Los Angeles-based non-profit organization dedicated to enriching the lives of both civilian and military trauma survivors by pairing recovering patients with established artists from various disciplines.
