—an intuitive painter, nature lover, and an enthusiast of the mystery and magic of life. I have been an Artist Soul since birth. Yet I only began painting later in life, after cycling through other forms of expression; in publishing, technical writing, freelance writing, yoga teaching, and being a mom.

My painting journey started with Chinese Brush Painting classes, using ink and watercolor to express the energy, the essence of a subject. Painting in this way is like a moving meditation. My art continues to reflect the intuitive energy of the canvas as I’ve expanded into painting with acrylics and metallics as well.

Painting feels like breathing to me, and from this and others' experience, I believe that art and creativity are vital for us all. Our health and well-being depend on it, so I create my art, and share my process and creative inspiration on YouTube @lauraschrollart, so that others can benefit as well.
