She was in Hawaii for the Maui Film Festival but Laura Dern decided to mix business with pleasure by turning the trip into a family holiday. 

Dern, 48, was spotted on the beach on Monday with her 10-year-old daughter Jaya - whose father is Laura's ex Ben Harper, and later trying out some paddleboarding. 

Laura wore a black bikini under a green and black striped shirt, with her long hair in loose beachy waves around her shoulders. 

The mother and daughter opted to use the same paddleboard, doubling up for their stint on the water. 

Dern and Harper tied the knot in 2005 after meeting at one of his concerts in 2000.

Laura also has a son Ellery, 13, with Ben, who she divorced in 2013 after reconciling and splitting in an on-off relationship during their last years together. 

Singer-songwriter Ben has since moved on, marrying social advocate Jaclyn Matfus on New Year's Day.

Earlier this year Laura received a Best Supporting Actress Academy Award nomination for her role as Reese Witherspoon's mother in Wild, and this was just the most recent accolade received over the course of a long career. 

 

In Wild, she played Bobbi Grey, the mother of Cheryl Strayed (Witherspoon), whose death was the catalyst that set Cheryl hiking the Pacific Crest Trail.

It had been over 20 years since Laura was last recognised by the Academy Awards, when she received a Best Actress nomination for 1992's Rambling Rose.

Over the intervening years, the actress picked up three Golden Globe awards for television work, plus five Emmy nominations. 

Laura previously revealed that she feels 'lucky' her job allows her the freedom to spend time with her children. 

.On Sunday Laura received the Maui Film Festival's Rainmaker Award in a ceremony held under the stars at the outdoor Celestial Cinema on the Gold And Emerald Golf Course in Wailea.

Presented on the closing night of the five-day event, festival director Barry Rivers said the Rainmaker Award honored an artist who had the power 'to profoundly and positively impact' every project they are involved in.

He praised the actress’s 'grace, humanity and luminosity' in her film and TV work, according to Variety.
