More about the artist:  At Memphis State University Laurel received the 
prestigious Creative Achievement Award, giving her an entire room in the 
university gallery to display her work during the annual student show. 
As a student she led a Peace & Justice group on campus. Her first banner 
was a collection of student's hand prints to be displayed at a nuclear 
power protest.

Laurel's mixed media social commentary work includes weavings about 
nuclear issues & mixed media sculptures concerned with environmental 
degradation. A recurring theme in her work is the earth bleeding at 
man's hand.

Laurel has created banners for Community Bill of Rights & the Ohio 
chapter of the Sierra Club's Ready For !00. Twice she has marched in 
Columbus's Doo Dah parade with her banner exposing GMO health related 
issues.

Most recently she mass produced what she calls a Bandaner -  'a bandana 
that is a banner', pushing for the Green New Deal. She also created a 
dandelion garden flag with a painted image from local Columbus artist 
Pilgrim Kambitsch, that discourages people from using pesticides.
