Hello, Wish!!! I'm Laura.
A bit of a weird pioneer, I tinker with a variety of arts and crafts. I’ve learned that creativity & freedom to do [mostly] as I please for work are incredibly important to me. I draw both by hand and digitally; crochet, write, dabble in amateur phone-tography with my Android and occasionally make eclectic beaded jewelry pieces.To follow along with updates, etc. I invite you to subscribe my Substack publication, Newsletter...ish.

A Little About Me
I am a colored pencil artist drawing | sketching largely from imagination & life.
I create for print-on-demand via Redbubble.
I offer printable coloring pages & more via my Ko-Fi page.
I write a newsletter where I share about building my art from practically nothing and the challenges presented along the way.
I was born in Athens, Georgia, United States; today, I live with my spouse, parents, 3 dogs, 3 cats, rabbits and chickens. It's a permanent circus 🎪 of the best caliber.
I was adopted at birth & am recently in reunion with a few biological relatives.
I crochet & play photographer, fiddling with the camera features on my Android phone.
In my free moments, I enjoy gaming, listening to music and reading.
Tinkering + Art
Art and craft have always been a part of my life, but in 2015, my spouse and I found ourselves homeless for the second time around - paper and pencils were easy access items I already had, so I traveled with them, playing with & learning art whenever possible.My art is almost entirely self-taught, though I've searched Youtube for tips or tricks, mostly related to colored pencils. I'm learning to draw and letter in ink & have dabbled in water colors, too.I enjoy drawing from my imagination as well as life. This has resulted in some uniquely imaginative pieces blended with works of a more relaxed nature. There is no singular subject that I draw continuously, however, my "weird eyes" will always hold a special place in my heart as they're my own distinctive design.
