"It is the tranquility and wonderment I found in nature as a child that continues to fuel my passion for both my art, and my life." - Laurel Barbieri

Laurel grew up in the Olympic National Rain Forest, remotely located in the Northwest corner of the State Washington. Born the eighth child of 13, her humble family relied primarily on the land, hunting for venison, bear, and greens.
Laurel spent most of her childhood exploring the woods surrounding the families home. Her early recollections are of a natural environment serving as her private sanctuary and playground.
Laurel`s combined passion for the outdoors, texture, and color deliver a bold and distinctive style. Often described as a "spiritual connection between nature, art."
