Art Chick Shtick: The Graceful Art of Prioritizing

welcome

My name is Laurie Meseroll and I'm an artist and a mom. I like to paint and make stuff. In fact, I can't stop making stuff. I think I've always been that way. I blame it on my mother..

Please do not use my original photos, images of my paintings, any of my artwork or my writing without my written permission. I take the rights to my artwork very seriously and hope you will as well. Also note reproduction rights do not transfer with ownership. For example, you may not use one of my paintings for your Christmas cards because you bought a painting (I've seen it done). Besides, it's just so uncool. And it really gets on my nerves.

Thomas Edison said, " Most people miss opportunities because it's dressed in overall and looks like work."

This is a bunch of images from my studio and my house. If anyone has heard a rumor about me painting in bed it's time for me to confess--it's true! I have paintings (not just sketchbooks) hidden under my bed and paint on almost every comforter and blanket in the house--I just like being cozy when I'm painting, y'know.

Lots and lots of little girls this year. Tassie noted that since she's not living at home I don't seem to paint as many sisters...

These are some of my favorite paintings--but I'm not sure if I have all the dates correct. This year I was very relaxed (odd because David and Jacob were going through puberty) so my paintings were very ethereal and dreamy. (Now that I think about it this may have been the year I discovered anti-depressants...)

Images of paintings from approximately 2000-2004--LOTS of wild, passionate colors--these were the years that Adam, Tassie and Josh were teenagers--fun! These were rather large (but not as enormous as my 1990's paintings)--most were 30 x 40 and completely mixed media--lots of acrylic and gouache. I will start a new album of papier maches if I can find enough images--if anyone out there that owns some could please send some pics I would really appreciate it--xxx000
