About Laurie
 | |  | |  | |  | |  |
Originally from Ohio, it was not until I moved to the South that I found my artist muse. I find my passion in the people,
landscapes, flowers and bayous throughout Louisiana. As I photographer, I use my camera to capture my vision and as an
abstract watercolorist, I use mixed media collages to bring the colors of nature to life. I strive to bring the uniqueness of the
Louisiana culture and landscapes to life--through lines, colors and natural elements.
