About Laurie Everton
Laurie Everton describes herself as a life-long artist whose career path took directions in many ways other than art.
For example, Ms. Everton has been a greenhouse grower, a sintering machinist in a car factory, an assistant legal secretary, and as a teen, she spent the day as The Snake Lady at a local fair.
But, an artist is an artist, and Ms. Everton's passion for art has not gone unnoticed.
For the past four years she has been doing portrait dolls full time on her own.
