When wanderlust + a paintbrush collide, you get Laura Welshans.

Laura didn’t set out to become a professional artist, but a knee surgery and a trip to France gave her the clarity and bravery she needed to embrace her creativity with confidence. What began as a humble endeavor in 2016, with cats playfully leaping into her paints in an upstairs bedroom, has blossomed into something remarkable. Today, Laura proudly operates her own studio. Her artwork is a vibrant reflection of her passions and experiences. While Laura's colorful florals captivate the eye, it's her abstracted landscapes that are the closest to her heart. Inspired by the awe-inspiring rock formations and serene creeks of the Southwest, each painting holds a cherished memory of her explorations. Join us as we delve into Laura's artistic journey and explore the depths of her artistic expression. This is an episode you won't want to miss, filled with tales of creativity that will make you laugh and stories of how inviting people into your own story is so rewarding.
