I’m excited to share this episode with my friend, Laura Dargan. Laura is a full-time Artist, focused on abstracts and figurative paintings. She strives to create visual energy through color and shape that leaves room for the viewer to interpret it in their own way. Laura grew up in Columbia, SC, and moved to Charleston for college. Since graduation, Laura has made Charleston her home by creating community in various ways. Laura is represented by The Miller Gallery, Charleston Artist Collective and Spalding Nix Fine Art in Atlanta, GA. Laura’s work has been featured in over 20 exhibitions across the southeast and now resides in Mt Pleasant with her husband Timothy and two dogs, Hazel and Pepper.

In this episode, we discuss the journey from going to school to become a doctor, to owning an art supply store, to becoming a full-time painter. We also touch on where Laura draws inspiration from, and how she’s been able to use life’s challenges to impact her creativity in a positive way.
