Laura is a creative soul who lives in central Iowa with her daughter and two elderly dogs surrounded by plants. When she is at home, she is likely creating art, with or without her daughter, gardening, meditating, dancing, journaling, or experimenting in the kitchen. However, she regularly leaves her home to hike local nature preserves which seem to always fuel her creative soul or moving energy around in Tai Chi. She enjoys a slow life and frequently gets distracted by clouds and fungi. She loves making food for those she loves and is always up for a good cup of tea and connecting with her dear friends. In exploring the light in dark and the beautiful relationship between life and death through her artwork, she has found that the time is now to savor her experiences and does her best to live in each moment.
