If you could live anywhere, where would it be?
By the ocean. The calming powers of the ocean inspire me!
What are the most challenging things for you about being an artist? I love to paint every day. So for me, the most challenging thing about being an artist is finding time to get everything else done, ie: laundry, cleaning the house, dinner, etc…
Thanks so much to Laura for taking the time to share a bit about her life and art with us. Be sure to check out her blog and Etsy shop!

Anne, Thanks for sharing Laura Trevey with us. Her work is bright and cheerful, it reminds me of another favorite of mine Marc Chagall. Whimsical and fun.
