Handcrafted
by Laurel
Laurel
grew up taking every art class she could. In addition to exposure
to painting and drawing, her Apple Valley High School art department
opportunities included pottery, weaving, metal casting, copper enameling
and more.
Laurel
went on to college at St.Cloud State University where she received
her art degree in graphic design, and also met her future husband,
Jamie. When she moved to the New London area, she worked for a number
of years in the art department at the West Central Tribune newspaper
in Willmar, then spent some time at home raising her son, Phillip.
