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.”

My coaching style is:

Inclusive

I believe we are all
creatives-in-waiting. 

I guide you with wholehearted and personalized engagement while sharing lots of tools
and unconventional activities
to fuel your creative engine.

Confident

My confidence that creative literacy empowers the global community springs from over thirty years as a dedicated artist and educator, merged with extensive training in emotional intelligence and meditation practices.

Optimistic

I am an evolutionary optimist who has had to hit the reset button in my life more than once, overcoming significant adversity and redesigning my path.

This internal 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.

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 ...

I have helped countless people across cultures and age groups uncover their creative clues to overcome adversity, crumble blocks to productivity, and reposition themselves into a sustainable life-work dynamic.
I’ve stepped out of the art classroom to share the most enduring attributes that creative practices reliably awaken in everyone.

Expanded creativity is the means and the consequence of this discovery process.

The expertise that scaffolds my practice was decades in the making...
