Laurie Maves has been painting her entire life. In 2006, however, she took a leap of faith deciding to focus most of her creative energies on painting and creating works of art full time. "if not now, when?"
Being an artist full time can be a very challenging and exhausting venture, but it's the one true thing that brings her joy.
Laurie's most recent body of work, entitled "trash to treasure" looks at how one recylces everything in one's life, from canvases to relationships (to see more, please visit the Artist Statement 2007 page).
If she's not working on this series, then you more than likely can find her scouting out new cities and countries to exhibit her works in as well as developing community partnerships and collaborations that address creativity and the need for art in one's everyday life. She loves to challenge her audience to think differently about their lives and to really explore what makes them fruitful, what makes them worth living, what brings them beauty, and ultimately, what brings them joy. |
