As splintering light fractions into thousands of colors, Laurie's life has encompassed many careers, from runway model to graphic artist, from musician to singer, from teacher to artist. The greatest influence in her art is her faith and belief that her gift of creativity is from the Lord.
With a degree in art, doors opened to eight years as head artist with an advertising agency; twenty-five years of teaching art has come full circle to top honors yearly at international art shows in photography, watercolor and oils. Laurie is a member of Oil Painters of America, The Daily Painters, The Five Graces, The American Watercolor Society, and Professional Published Fine Artists. She is a listed artist on askart.com and artprice.com. In addition, she has exhibited with the Dallas Committee of the Fine Arts in Dallas. She loves working with oils, intense colors, a palette knife and brushes, boldly capturing the energy of colors and motion on the canvas.
Today Laurie's work is collected internationally by both private collectors and corporations. Her artwork has been published in numerous magazine, newspapers and books. Currently she is represented by Earth Works Art Gallery of Penn Yan, New York; The Red Tree Gallery, Atascadero, California; The Rare Gallery in Jackson Hole, Wyoming; Patina of Marble Falls, Texas; The Gillian Jones Gallery, Ohio; The Dutch Art Gallery, Dallas, Texas; Our House Gallery, El Dorado Hills, California; The Gordon Phillips Gallery, Bedford, Texas; and the SR Gallery of Hong Kong.
