As a creative visionary, Laura explores the
liminal boundaries between the known and the unknown, the visible and the invisible, the past and the collective future—searching for cracks in the facade where imagination, beauty, and magic are still alive in our world.
Right now I am working on how to be of service at this time of great transition. What continues to stick in my mind is Jung's idea that...
"Just as the individual's conscious mind needs to be brought into greater harmony and balance with the countervailing tendencies of the unconscious, so a particular culture needs to readjust its collective perspectives through the agency of myth and symbol. It is the mythmaking artist who discovers the compensatory archetypal image that the age and culture require for greater balance."
So I ponder, as an artist and a myth maker, what I can bring forth that can serve not only my own creative urges, but also the world at large, which is no doubt in need of some balance.

guides are returning to Western consciousness at this
time to lead us towards a better relationship with death
and dying. To find out more visit Laura's psychopomp website, which includes:
