Item Description

 

"The phrases on my heart sum up the outpouring of support I felt from so many friends when I returned home to Carmel in 2013 after living away for several years. The background colors represent the beautiful sunsets at my beloved Carmel Beach where I frequently walk."

 

LAURA CRYSTINA ALEXANDER took up painting in 2017, embracing the meditative process of making art to alleviate her pain resulting from an injury. Having previously worked as an interior designer, Alexander shifted her love of color and form to express her personal perspective. Encouraged by the results, she proceeded to delve into the psychological benefits of art-making and pursued a credential in transformational life coaching from Sofia University. In 2020, Alexander officially became a creative coach as well as a working artist. The Brave Art Journey, a course she has developed, utilizes the power of creativity to deal with life challenges.
