Wanna know more about me?

Pronounced "LAW-ren HOY-er"

Sun & Moon Sagittarius with Cancer Ascending

My true passion is realism with a twist. I love creating semi-realistic paintings of animals and nature that just pop against the wood grains and stained canvases.

Currently working full time as a Graphic Artist for Giant Eagle Market District and I am also, a contracted Pet Portrait Artist for Chewy.com.

Graduated from Kent State University in Ohio with a Major in Art Education and a Minor in Fine Art & Education in 2012.

I have designed the cover of the Market District December 2013 Newsletter for all their stores in PA & OH. I also, designed the logo for the celebration of the 25th Anniversary of Teaching English in Poland by the Kosciuszko Foundation.

In the summer of 2019, I was awarded with many other talented artists to design a large dancing bear for “Mentor Rocks the Bear” competition. I chose to paint my bear with the constellation of Ursa Major, the Great She bear. It was a great experience and lots of fun to paint. My bear was proudly displayed at the Local Mentor Library and was later auctioned off to raise money for the City of Mentor. Ursa Major is currently living on my porch. My mother loved it so much she won it in the auction and gave it back to me as a house warming gift. I have the best mother ever and the coolest porch sculpture on my street.

Check out my images to see all the personality that just shows through each critter. :)

CREATED ART & DESIGNS FOR THE FOLLOWING:

RANDOM FACT: My cats are my world. Marilyn Emma (Mare Mare) is my gentle strawberry blonde baby girl with a raspy voice of an angel. Romeo Jackson (Pony Boy) is my spotted giant (18lb) who can say the words, cup, cow and hello and can only be held on the left shoulder. New Kitten, Beatrice Wren, is a dilute torbie with the most damning tiny voice and loves to try to ride the other cats like a cowboy.
