Come Wander Along with Me...

I wander...it is simply what I do.  Since I was a young girl, my parent's tried everything to keep me close to home, going to such  measures as to buy me goats.  Though I loved my goats, my heart still  wandered.  

Growing up in rural New Jersey, I was surrounded by dense woods and long stretches of farm land to fuel my imagination.   I felt at home in the arms of the forest and spent many days laying upon the fragrant mossy soil staring up through the filter of leaves... watching the light dance.  It is these experiences that I work to remember.

In adulthood, I discovered the joy of capturing those precious moments, through my camera's lens.  Though the many years in between my youth and the present, I have enjoyed many wonderful adventures and am currently wandering in another people's land.  For the past 10 years I have had the pleasure of living in Europe and learning to look at life in a very different way.   

Through my images and my wanderings, I hope you will enjoy seeing the world around you... in a new way.

So...I invite you to "Come Wander Along with Me..."

More Announcements: “Visual Prayers”

working-copy-visual-prayer-72300I am happy to announce that this coming May 2009,  I will be installing a collection of works inspired by a letter I received from Mumbai India.  In this inspirational letter of support written by Piya Mukherjee, her words:

“The first thought that came to mind upon seeing Laura’s work, was, These seem like visual prayers. I hope, wish and pray that your work continues to reach an increasing number of people!”

When I was approached to create an exhibit, Piya’s haunting description came immediately to mind.  My dearest hope in presenting this work is to share the feeling of serenity I have been blessed to tap into on my daily wanders.

Currently we have two venues scheduled in California, to hang the collection and are in the process of finding more interested parties.   Should you know of a location that would be in need of “Visual Prayers” please contact me directly.   Healing through Art is very near and dear to my heart so if my work can help add this feeling of hope, I am very intereseted.   Hospitals,  Clinics, Medical centers…meditation, Yoga and Pilates studios all I believe would be enhanced by the collection.

My vision for this project is to send these images out into the world and for them to spread their  message of hope and healing.   A book containing many of the photographs in the exhibit as well as many other inspirational works will be accompanying the show and will also be available for sale at lulu.com.
