The STORY
Laura has been creating art her whole life, completing over 1000 hours of art classes by the time she was 18.
Her current favorite expression of art is painting on canvas, working primarily in acrylics because they are most similar to her experience with life: intense, bright, and passionate yet gentle.
She designs a line of scarves and pocket squares available at LindenStyle.com
Her work is often abstract and emotional, employing the suggestive line, broad strokes, large canvases and lots of paint. The ocean is an endless source of inspiration for her. Her work can best be described as abstract art and surf art.
She creates work with a playfulness and lightness that she feels is essential to creativity. Meditation is an important part of her painting practice. She gains much inspiration from incredible ocean photographers and scientists as well as observing the ocean itself. Laura love sharing these deep visions with others to better their lives, help them express their true selves, and follow their dreams.
Laura was raised in Erie, PA and received her B.A. in Political Science with disctinction and honors from The Pennsylvania State University’s main campus.
She is trained in several healing arts, is a serial entrepreneur, author, speaker, and the mother of two amazing children who continue to be her greatest teachers.
artist's statement
The world is a glorious place and we are so fortunate to be allowed to play here for a short time. Life is meant to be beautiful, passionate, love-filled, and about helping others as we walk on our path.
I have loved all over our beautiful country and while I find something unique and gorgeous about every area, it is always the water I come back to. The oceans and great lakes that help me feel the most at ease and alive.
Walking in presence and gratitude and sharing what we experience is the best way I have found to fashion a world that grows well together.
A life lived without passion is no life at all. Join me in working together to create love, peace, and beauty.
Be a firestarter!
