Colleen McLaughlin
Greetings!
I am the tenth of eleven children, born and raised in beautiful Vermont. With a background in Human Services, I am also a professional musician, writer, and artist. As the proprietor of "It's Elemental," artworks, I create "Elemental Art Cards," an original line of nature-inspired notecards which feature my artwork, verse and poetry. I write a monthly feature in my local community newspaper on topics relative to long-term healthcare, and my artwork has been featured in numerous on-line galleries. Among my many mottos, my current one is, "Art is to living, as breathing is to life." I cannot imagine any other way of being.
