Once upon a time there was a girl that loved to create and teach others to find their creative vein, that girl was me and I would love to have you find community in one of my many creative classes. I am located in La Crosse, WI and teach out of The Collective on Main. To check out my classes please click below.
Get to know the artist and instructor
Usually found with paint in her hair and dirt under her fingernails, Laurie’s creative passion is an extension of who she is. She is the multi-passionate owner of The Creative Naiad, LLC, where nurturing and art flow freely and co-mingle. Nature is her inspiration, with its full spectrum of color and texture, light and shadows, captured in her paintings and naturally-dyed fiber arts. At the easel, she allows her imagination and intuition to guide the acrylics across the canvas using brushes, tools and her fingers. In her fiber art, she preserves nature’s rainbow of color using her natural dye process, incorporating flowers and foliage gathered from her gardens and many hikes in the driftless area of Wisconsin. Her fiber art, greeting cards, and acrylic prints can be found on Etsy and in downtown La Crosse, WI, at The Collective on Main, where she also offers a wide range of classes. Please find The Creative Naiad, LLC, on Instagram, Facebook, and her blog TheCreativeNaiad.com to see her journey with art, nature, and meandering thoughts.
