Laurie's plaques and wall hangings of female nudes range in
size from 5"x7" to 22"x22". Every piece is one-of-a-kind,
though she often repeats the basic forms.
Some are titled,
some are not. All are signed.
"I only give
a piece a title if it's obvious to me," she said. "If I have to
struggle to come up with one, it wasn't meant to be titled."
While most of Laurie's subjects
are real people, as mood dictates, she sometimes moves into "Picasso" mode,
doing more abstract figures.
Each piece is ready to hang on a wall or place in a
display stand. Groupings of three small nudes in a bedroom or bathroom
are very effective. The larger pieces fit well into many decorating
schemes.

Commissions from tasteful personal photos will be considered, but prospective clients should be warned that, while this is a likeness from a photo, it remains art and cannot be guaranteed. In addition, each piece is individual and subject to the vagaries inherent in handmade products. A 50 percent nonrefundable downpayment will be required for commissioned nudes. As the process is time intensive, expect delivery not sooner than four to six weeks from receipt of photograph and downpayment.

The glaze used on the body of the model is a crackle, giving it an antique look. The piece is made of white earthenware.
