Join Victor in a conversation with this multi award winning Artist Laura Pommier, as they discuss her life’s journey that began at the age of four. “I knew by high school that being an artist was my career path.” That passionate journey continued with her formal art education including a Master of Arts and a Bachelor of Fine Arts. 
 
Today Laura also entertains her audiences at events and receptions with themed paintings created in an hour or two. And if that isn’t enough, she also teaches classes in painting, drawing and pastel at both the North Port and the Punta Gorda art centers.

As a contemporary artist, she’s often seen in spotlight with her award winning art being exhibited in juried shows. But what is one of her most treasured moments? Well you’ll have to listen in and find out, but we’ll give you a hint.

It has something to do with her being the one selected to paint a gigantic mural in North Port from over a 1,000 submissions from all over the nation.

We caught up with Dave after the interview to get his thoughts on it.
