Laurel Burch
December 31, 1945 - September 13, 2007
I've marveled at Laurel Burch's art and fabric designs since I first saw them several years ago. I didn't know the story of how this amazing art came out of such a turbulent life. If you don't know about her, go to her website and read her story. She will be missed by many.
"I live within the vivid colors of my imagination--soaring with rainbow feathered birds, racing the desert winds on horseback, wrapped in ancient tribal jewels, dancing with mythical tigers in steamy jungles."

This is a fabric postcard I made in 2005.

A lovely post about Laurel. I hadn't heard that she passed. I knew she wasn't in the best of health. I have many ceramic pieces of her art, a handbag, some fabric, and two quilting books. I love her work. She was a wonderful artist.

Beautiful work! I love that the animals she is holding look very happy to be with her! I'm so sorry to hear that she passed away at such a young age.

Thanks for the pics, and for the link to the story of this beautiful and talented woman. I also love your fabric postcard; the autumn one pictured at left on your blog is fabulous; I can't quit looking at it.

She was a wonderful artist! You can't help but smile when you see her work. She is indeed crossing over the RAINBOW bridge

Susan, her art is so wonderful!! I will check her site out. Your cloth postcard is a work of art in itself. Your card came to John yesterday and he really liked it, as did I. XOXO Nita
