One-of-a-Kind Art for a Home That Inspires.
When I was in the third grade, President Kennedy was assassinated. I felt sad and wanted to do something to help. I drew a picture of Lyndon Johnson standing in front of the White House with the flag at half-staff. My parents sent the picture to Washington, and a White House staffer sent me a note thanking me for the drawing and saying that it made them feel better.
That's when I decided to draw and create, and express myself and express for others.
I have pursued art both formally and informally all my life. I became a nurse because I wanted to help people. Now that I am retired, I can spend more time in the studio.
My name is Laurel, and I'm an artist living in Crocker County, North Carolina. I've been married to my wonderful husband, Jon, for a long time, and we have two children, a boy and a girl, who are both married. We also have one granddaughter.
Jon and I love to volunteer our time to help others. We volunteer at local charities in Crocker County, and we volunteer for a disaster relief organization.
Many people cannot express themselves visually and look to others to do it for them.
I feel I have a gift for visual expression and want to use it so others can say "I feel that" or "I've been there."
