Laurel’s fantastical imagination, whimsical creatures and the wonders she created in her paintings, jewellery and writings are now part of her legacy.
This Wild Flowers design symbolizes the exquisite blossoming of the spirit as much as the beauty of a glorious garden.
Just as brilliantly coloured, vibrant and awash with shimmering details as the rest of Laurel’s works, this design pays special tribute to the infinite bliss of flowers.
This became a signature feature of her artistic style.
Many of her paintings remind us of cloisonne enamels with their small, colour-filled compartments.
When she went to China in 1971 to start mass production of the goods she designed, she discovered “cloisonne,” a traditional technique of embellishing metal surfaces with enamel.
Through art she found her solace, her haven, her sense of spiritual restoration.
Laurel’s pictures are filled with imaginative visions, lively colours and living creatures.
Her vibrant colours and joyful paintings became so popular that her works were licensed around the world.
She created quirky jewellery and developed her artistic style into what we see today.
She eventually found her place in San Francisco, and as a single mother sought creative ways to provide for her family.
Though not trained in art or jewellery making, Laurel began to put together interesting metal scraps she found in junk yards.
She was raised in the difficult circumstances of a broken family and as a teenager chose to walk away from this life and take her own, independent path.
Designs from our colourful Laurel Burch Collection can take you on a flight of imagination, from the world of Fantastic Felines to a celebration of the Spirit of Womankind.
Born in Southern California, Laurel was diagnosed with a congenital bone disease which resulted in more than a hundred cases of bone fractures over the course of her life.
The art of Laurel Burch (1945–2007) has an especially uplifting, joyful, nurturing quality.
A tribute to the infinite bliss of flowers, this Wild Flowers design symbolizes the blossoming of the spirit as much as the beauty of a lovely garden.
