Laura's News and Photos.........

Hi! Welcome to my news and photos section of my website, I think I will just write random things of varied degrees of importance here and then just drop in a few photos arbitrarily.. enjoy..

My biggest news is that I have completed out a full classroom / studio in Rowe, NM out at my Father's place. It's about 25 miles north of Santa Fe, right down I25, (pretty easy to get to). There are many more trees out there and it is quite rural (and beautiful). The property is located only about 5 miles away from the Pecos National Monument, which is an ancient abandoned Pueblo village. Many neighbors have found artifacts and the remains of dwellings nearby, this, I think, makes for an added specialness to the studio and land. Our property is 10 acres which will allow for us to expand the school a bit in the near future. But first, we are simply trying to get a workshop schedule worked out and regular classes going for locals. If things should work, then we will think about expanding. So here are some pictures of my artist friends working in the new space...

Recently, I have also been painting more regularly. I had a very slow period for about the last 4 years since moving to New Mexico. Shortly after we moved here, we had our son Sammy Lou, who has really required most of my creative energy. (which I have been happy to give to him). I also lost my Mother Anne, in February of 2007, so my own personal adjusting and the family adjustments with that, have also occupied me. But, with the new studio together, and some support from friends and fellow artists, I have been painting more regularly lately. I had Art representation for about 6 months at Pop Gallery, here in Santa Fe, but have recently lost that situation. So, I am once again seeking gallery representation if anyone should be interested. That's about it, you can check back here for updates once in a while, you never know, I may have something new happening....

Every Tuesday I head out to the studio in Rowe to paint and I have some friends that oftentimes come and paint with me, I thought I would include some links to their websites in case anyone would be interested in seeing their work ...
