About Me

My journey as an artist is full of twists & turns, and for that I am grateful because it brought me here. Today on this website on my own About Me page.  My mother, Carol, was a commercial artist and growing up I was surrounded by and in awe of her work.  Naturally I was want to be just like her but life had other plans.  Getting married, having children and moving 9 times - but art was always my hobby - wherever we were I always had a studio - be it the kitchen table, garage or basement.  As the kids got older I strived to create beautiful art to sell.  I started dabbling in silk painting and wax batik creating beautiful hand painted silk scarves.  This was a total love affair that blossomed into designing fabric, quilt & embroidery patterns.  

 

You may ask why a lot of my designs have a coastal feel to it - this is because I grew up spending all my summers on a tiny island off the coast of Maine.  My first foray into selling my art was when I was a little girl selling driftwood & sea glass pieces on a roadside stand on my grandmother’s lawn.  

 

I feel very blessed to be able to share my work with so many and I’m grateful that you stopped by to view my work.  

 

Blessings,

Laurie
