Laurie was raised in an environment that supported and encouraged the creative process.  The art Laurie works in oil the majority of the time, but since it is the process that interest her more, the mediums often change. The subject matter varies. Over the past several years it has leaned to the essence and creature of the South Carolina Low Country. The Process Laurie is drawn to the process of creating...drawn to what happens when you allow your every day self to leave the room and let the elusive creative hand step in and work....drawn to that magic of the moment when the the every day self steps back in and is proud of the outcome of the process....drawn to the charm of someone else liking your work. It's the last of these that endangers the truth within the process and must be monitoried at all times.
