Hunter-Null majored in Fine Arts, and received her Bachelor and Masters degrees in Art Education at Florida State University. During her 38- year career, she taught for the Columbia County School System, the Lake City Community College, and privately at Rowand’s Book, Art/Crafts, and Hobby Store. After retirement she opened her private business, Art by Laura Hunter-Null at Art Whisperer Studio, where she creates her art.
