As a Visual Artist, creative writing for the sheer love of the craft comes naturally to Laurie. Through the trials and challenges in her life, writing has always been her outlet, a cathartic experience and a way to express her thoughts about the world around Laurie...as a woman...an Artist...a Writer....a mature student. In 2015 Laurie founded a collaborative performance art collective that joins the written word with music, dance, vocals, and digital technology. For each performance, she writes the libretto and her colleague composes a score. Apart from the MOTUS project, Laurie has enjoyed writing for newsletters, blogs, speeches, research papers, ghostwriting, non-fiction, and copy-writing. However, her passion is poetry.
