LAURA CROSBY

Laura Crosby was born in Columbia South Carolina. Her father was a photographer and a photojournalist. Before she was twelve years old, she had been to every part of South Carolina traveling with him. Some of the trips seemed awfully long considering there was no air conditioned cars back then, no rest areas, and no quick stop grocery stores. It was during those long trips that she discovered that she liked art. Laura and her husband discovered Eleuthera (Bahamas) about 15 years ago when they rented a house for a spring break vacation. They bought there own house there in 2001. When they return home, Laura's brain is filled with the images, sounds, and natural beauty of the island. She paints small watercolors of the things she loves there ... colors, contrasts, and the charm of the small colorful settlements. She also creates art with junk she finds on the beach. She also makes pottery, sea glass jewelry and she enjoys weaving and sewing. She said she is also trying to learn to play the harmonica. She does not stick with one thing for too long so she does not mass produce pieces. Laura said the great thing about art and creativity is that you never know where it's going to take you. She is enjoying the journey!
