Laurie Meyer has lived and painted in Charleston [SC] for nearly forty years. Following careers as a teacher and pharmaceutical sales, Laurie devoted her focus to being a professional artist in 1997.

Additionally, she has led many workshops in her studio as well as in Italy, Portugal, Mexico, and other wonderful locations.
