If you’d like to know more about me:

I’m Laura and I am an artist from the greater Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area where I help people learn watercolor painting, and expressive art techniques and how to use art to heal grief, stress and cope with loss or pain. I am the founder of Beauty For Ashes, an online expressive art business. I created Beauty For Ashes as a safe place for individuals to express their grief, stress and emotional hardships while creating beauty in the midst of dark times. I have had personal experience using art in coping with grief and loss over the years. I desire to help others learn how healing and supportive art can be.

Curious to learn more...?

I have expertise in watercolor, drawing, acrylic and oil painting, mixed media, textile art, collage making, printmaking, natural dyeing of fabric, and batik. I want to show people how art can be a supportive and healing process while dealing with grief, pain, stress, emotional struggles and more. I have experienced art as a healing and supportive place throughout my own journeys of grief losing my grandmother, my sister to cancer and experiencing the divorce of my parents as a teen. Art and creativity are vital to learning that the hard and dark places in life do have beauty hidden in the midst of them. My programs will help with healing broken emotions, grieving hearts, stress related anxiety and daily stress. I have written an ebook specifically for creatively coping with and managing sibling loss. I hope to help other adult siblings to find creative and artistic ways to process their grief in a safe and uplifting way.
