She firmly believes she is here on this planet to make your painting.
She paints Poppies, Lollipop Heads, Energy, and Commissioned Portraits.
Laurie LOVES a lot of things! In addition to her painting, she loves the people she surrounds herself with, the ever challenging practice of yoga, and the fanciful world of collaborations. She feels that she shines her brightest when she finds other creative souls to conspire with. Laurie has collaborated with musicians, animators, story tellers, photographers and poets. Her studio mate, photographer Diva extraordinare, Peggy Dyer, has opened her eyes and her heart to limitless ideas, creations, manifestations and how to let the ego go and just step into the flow of the stream...and to just allow the art to unfold.
Laurie Maves is also an artist who wants to promote the concept of living one's life with purpose. As an creative being, she is constantly finding ways to bring her works to the world, to inspire, to motivate, to facilitate creativity and promote love throughout the universe. She knows in her soul that this is a GARGANTUAN task but what else is there to do if she wants to live her life with purpose?
