Laura Livermore … “Silk by Laura” Laura's art is inspired by her adventures of living and traveling throughout Europe, sailing across the Atlantic, going on safari in Africa, working on a dude ranch in Wyoming, exploring the pyramids in Egypt and scouting Indian ruins in Santa Fe. These experiences contribute both subtly and boldly to her designs through colors, patterns, textures, scenes and style. Laura is a passionate artist who puts a bit of her heart and soul into each piece. Her artwork combines the beauty of the world with the practical side of life. Her silks can be displayed as treasured works of art or worn as luxurious accessories or even better, both!

"Most people paint on paper or canvas...for some reason I paint on silk. I stumbled on this art form while living in Germany (I had never even heard of silk painting). I have not been able to stop! To paint with dyes, directly on to the silk is a magical experience! The possibilities are infinite." Laura Livermore
