Laurie Longenecker has been a professional artist since she began her artistic life as a Fabric Designer in New York City after graduating with a BFA in Design from Syracuse University. When she made the move to the West Coast she put her design talents to work as a graphic designer. She worked and still works, designing award-winning projects for companies both big and small. She is responsible for designing the packaging for Newman's Own Organics as well as logos and packaging for many other companies.

When not wearing her graphic designer hat you can find her in her painting studio. After taking a watercolor workshop in France a few years ago she fell in love with painting and started to paint as much as possible.
