Laura Cesari’s work as a magic-realist artist brings decorative art into everyday objects such as clothing, software, and furniture. Her artwork ranges from illuminated evening gowns to software adorned with mythical creatures, and has been featured in CNET news as well as Elle Magazine Argentina, and shown at national venues such as SIGGRAPH, O’Reilly Media’s Emerging Technologies Conference (Etech), Maker Faire, and Burning Man Center Camp Cafe. Her decorative software work has been published through Mozilla and Nullsoft.

In combining the subtle media of ornamental arts with unlikely subjects and materials, Cesari’s artwork inspires positive relationships with the unconventional beauty of everyday objects and the quirky intricacies of the universe.
