Live Your Music – Margaux Joy and Guest Aarin Burch 05/06/20

I am happy to have Aarin Burch back as my guest for Live Your Music on 05/06/20. Join us for a conversation about her Mom, Laurel Burch, and how Aarin is living her music with her Mom's beautiful art.

Artist Laurel Burch has brightened the world with her fanciful, imaginative, and thoroughly charming paintings, jewelry, and writings since she first began crafting her iconic one-of-a-kind necklaces in Haight-Ashbury in the late 1960s, selling her designs on the streets and in local galleries to support herself and her young daughter. By the 1980s, this former flower child and self-taught painter had become an internationally famous artist and designer embraced worldwide by collectors and fans of her bright, bold imagery and heartfelt messages. Crossing the boundaries of age and race, countries and cultures, and even the physical and spiritual realms, every image she dreamt up was rooted in her respect and reverence for all living things.

Despite her lifelong struggle with osteopetrosisand many bone fractures, Laurel saw her physical obstacles as stepping stones to her inner strengths. She lived an enviable life with extraordinary joy, undiminished gratitude, and a contagious positive spirit that continues to inspire people today. Laurel’s daughter Aarin Burch founded Laurel Burch Studios to continue to make her mother’s extraordinary artwork available to all. Laurel’s stream of ideas, her fantastic mythological creatures, the wonders she created for so many decades in her paintings, jewelry, and writings are now part of her legacy. The boundless energy and imagination of this extraordinary artist place her among the most treasured creative spirits of our time.
