WHY DESIGNERS RECOMMEND LAURIE
TESTIMONIAL FROM J. KURT LUCAS of JKL DESIGN GROUP
“Laurie Maves is an artist I deeply admire—not only for her extraordinary talent, but for the way she listens. Before she ever puts brush to canvas, she takes the time to understand the person behind the commission. That gift is rare. I have never been interested in living an ordinary life or surrounding myself with ordinary things. I believe great design, like great art, should have the courage to say something. Laurie understands that. She isn’t afraid of color, emotion, or bold ideas, and somehow she transforms them into work that feels deeply personal. More than once, she has created pieces for me that have brought me to tears.
What I appreciate most is that Laurie doesn’t paint to impress—she paints to connect. She has the remarkable ability to translate personality, memories, and emotion into something that will outlive all of us.
If your vision is quiet and understated, she will honor that with the same care and respect. But if, like me, you believe life is meant to be lived boldly and without fear, you’ll find in Laurie a kindred spirit who has the rare ability to turn that philosophy into art.
I recommend her without hesitation.” — Kurt Lucas

“We have loved Laurie’s art for over 15 years and she has made both our proposal and 10-year anniversary so special! She has created pieces that we will cherish forever and we are so thankful to have seen her art and reached out so many years ago. Each of our pieces have so much meaning behind them, and the story she created with the video of her making our 10-year painting is outstanding. Thanks Laurie for everything!” Traci S. of Denver, Colorado
