The Amazing Art of Laurel Burch

Laurel Burch was an artist and designer famous for her bright and bold cat and horse themed handbags, coffee mugs and other gift items.

When Ms. Burch passed away in September 2007 the San Rafael, CA newspaper ran this blurb:

"Bay Area artist Laurel Burch died last Thursday morning at her home in San Rafael. She was 61.

She is known worldwide for her colorful designs - exotic cats, horses, flowers and sealife on everything from T-shirts, to scarves, ceramics, and jewelry. Her work continues to be sold throughout the world.

Ms. Burch suffered from a lifelong condition, osteopetrosis, which caused repeated breaks of her bones."

Laurel Burch Fantastic Felines

The trademark of Laurel Burch's work is bright colors and bold designs. She uses a lot of cat and horse themes as well as inspirational angel images.

The book high-lighted here is a collection of images from her Fantastic Felines series. Amazon also offers numerous journals featuring uniquely Laurel Burch art.

    Whenever I wear my Laurel Burch "Tribe" earrings at least every 4th person I see says something nice. I love to wear Laurel's art. Not only makes me happy but others enjoy it.
