At age six, she was gifted a set of watercolours and she soon knew she wanted to be a wildlife painter when she grew up. Laurie's love of horses blossomed the first time she rode one. She moved to Colorado in 1987, where she now has a small ranch. She and her husband have been the proud owners of five lovely Morgans over the years. They are her artistic muses and her best friends.
