Hi, I'm Laurie!

Welcome!  I’m so glad you’re here! This is a space for color, creativity, and the kind of joy that shows up when you let yourself make something just because it feels good.

After more than twenty years in design, I found myself craving a more heart-centered creative practice that didn’t just look beautiful but felt meaningful. That’s how Pawsitively Creative began: a space where art, kindness, and curiosity could come together.

Today, my work focuses on projects that inspire joy and mindfulness, including Drawn to Joy, my illustration series that celebrates creativity in everyday life. I also love sharing what I’ve learned through Create + Connect Corner, where I offer tutorials, resources, and tools that remind you creativity isn’t something you need to earn, it’s already part of you.

Whether you’re here to explore art, learn something new, or simply soak in a bit of creative positivity, I’m so glad you found your way here.

Meet Cooper, the Cairn Terrier who keeps my spirits high and my creativity flowing. His boundless energy and unwavering enthusiasm inspire me to create art that spreads happiness and supports animal advocacy causes.

I'm born and raised in the Pacific Northwest and I still live here and love it! Although...I'm nearly always cold, so I adore the 2 months of "real" summer we get here in Western Washington.

I'm SUPER organized and I love finding/trying new hacks for our house. My husband is very understanding!
