Laurel talked a bit about her 10-day European art tour she currently has embarked on. Art is her main focus for the next 12 months. Her first collection of abstract paintings she had worked on last summer called Tribeca Series sold out fast and some of the paintings are now in countries like France or Italy. Painting has a calming effect on Laurel when she puts her emotions on canvas.What inspires her is soul searching and heartbreak. What is more important is that a painting is there forever. Regardless of value, it makes you start thinking more on immortality.
