About the Artist
Laurie Meyer has lived and painted in Charleston, SC for over twenty years. Life in Charleston has provided Laurie with countless subjects and rich inspiration for her award-winning paintings. Her frequent travels have also given Laurie varied and interesting ideas for many of her works. She paints with rich color and broad "brushy" strokes and palette knife to express the unique and recognizable softness in her work.

Art has played a large role in community involvement for Laurie. She is the past president of the Mt. Pleasant Artists Guild, serving two terms. Laurie is past Program Director for the Charleston Artist Guild and is their current Director of Artistic Growth. She is also a member of the Oil Painters of America, Charleston Outdoor Painters Association, the SC Watercolor Association, and the Portrait Society of America.

Laurie shows her work locally at the Piccolo Spoleto Outdoor Art Exhibition and at the Pinckney-Simons Galleries in Beaufort and Columbia, GDC Home Freshfields, The City Art Gallery in Greenville, NC, and online at www.lauriemeyer.com.
