Artist Inspiration:
Laura’s inspiration was the project and the puns of a copycat or a poppycat. She recently finished an immense piece of poppies in a photocopies style and thought it would be fun to create a poppycat.
Artist Bio:
Laura grew up in Sedalia, CO, just outside of Castle Rock, and has lived in the Denver metro area all her life.
“I work in watercolor and watercolor batik. In high school I discovered watercolor and it’s been my favorite ever since. All through school I’ve loved art!” Laura’s passion for art was ignited as a child when she spent summers painting with her Grandmother. She shows her work regularly in many local shows like Art in the Park, Greeley Arts Festival, Parkview Arts Festival, and the National Arts Program show in Castle Rock. She is a member of both the Parker Artists Guild and the Park Hill Art Club.
Laura resides with her husband and five of their seven children, (two are grown), and their dog, Zoe. “All of my pets (cats and dogs) have been rescue pets. I’m particularly partial to Siamese cats and terrier dogs that are power packed with personality! They have so much to give!”
