Expanded creativity is the means and the consequence of any self-discovery process.
Welcome, I'm Laurie
Over 20 years ago, I took a magic carpet ride from
Massachusetts to Mallorca. My journey to today has not
been all turquoise waters, red wine, and café con leche.
I really had no idea the tumult and triumph would come from
such a dramatic change.
I’d like to share what I’ve learned with you.
After decades of teaching artists how to create their best work,
I’m shifting again - with a call out to all you non-artists.
Join me in awakening your dormant creative powers to become the change-maker and leader you would wholeheartedly follow.
“The enduring skills I have learned and developed through
the visual arts, education, and meditation practices have empowered my transformation time and time again.”
Inclusive
We are all creatives-in-waiting. I guide with attentive, personalized engagement, sharing unconventional activities and tools to fire up and fuel your creative engine.
Confident
Empowered by 30+ years as a dedicated artist and diverse educator, trained in emotional intelligence and meditation practices, I have have taught creative literacy to a diverse populations.

Optimistic
I am an evolutionary optimist who has had to hit the reset button in my life more than once, overcoming adversity and redesigning my path, using creativity as the fuel of reinvention.
A personal evolution gave rise to The AutoEphemera Way™
The AutoEphemera Way is a philosophy of self-development designed to uplift how we interact in the world.
We can live, learn, and lead in a generative way that honors
past experiences, nourishes well-being, and promotes creative collaboration across generations and within diverse groups.

AutoEphemera | ˈɔːtəʊ | + | ɪˈfɛm(ə)rə, ɛˈfɛm(ə)rə | reminds us that we already have everything we need. Deciphering patterns of our past and present brings us clarity on how to step up leadership powers inside and out and make a difference wherever we go.
A bridge is easier to build when you’re clear what’s on the other side of it.

Join me ...
We need an artist in the room to coax out
that unconventional view, to remind us when conformity and old habits get us stuck.
Join us ...

to overcome adversity, crumble productivity blocks, and reposition themselves into an aligned and sustainable life-work dynamic.
