No, Jodi, the cats were my late father-in-law’s barn cats in Minnesota. They had several and I was able to get some cute pictures from them as well as many of their other farm animals! (I’ll get them onto cards one day, too!)

Laurie, are those your cats? I love cats and have two – The Princess (Ms. Pudders) and Frizzle (Yo Boy) hahaha (he’s a story all to himself!).

Thanks, T! I just love the butterfly but I do think the kaleidoscopes are my second faves LOL

I have the distinct pleasure of calling Laurie my friend and neighbor. She is as kind and generous of heart as she is talented. I am so happy that she is pursuing her passion and sharing her special gift with others. She has a way of capturing elements in nature and enhancing the subtleties and nuances. Just breathtaking. I think she is well on her way to becoming a household name. Maybe even one of Oprah’s “Favorite Things!”

Jodi, you couldn’t have picked a more talented artist to highlight than Laurie. From the feature above, you really get a sense that she is multi-talented in all the arts. My favorite line is the Kaleidoscope.
