Sad news

Most of you will be familiar with the work of Laurel Burch , famed for her felines and mystical horses amongst other works, and have probably at least coveted one of her bags if not bought one.


Sadly I stumbled on a blog today notifying of her recent death. Condolences can be left at her website. I did not know that she had suffered very badly from a rare bone disease. For me it makes her art so much more beautiful that it came out of such adversity.

Thank you for sharing that Helen. I hadn't heard the news, but have always enjoyed her art.

Oh my word -- I had no idea. Thank you so much for the information; I've always loved her work and have earrings of hers that I treasure. It's just so tragic when these sad things happen to just lovely, talented people....
