Texas Artist Laurie Pace
Texas Artist Laurie Pace
As splintering light fractions into thousands of colors, Laurie’s journey in life has encompassed many careers: from runway model to graphic artist, from musician to singer, from teacher to painting artist. she believes the greatest influence in her life is the beauty God provides daily.
The daughter of a creative mother and a business-oriented father, Laurie found her start early in life painting for the Dallas PBS station auctions at the tender age of nine. Her love of God’s creation and her passion for art grew stronger as she went through early childhood. Her parents bought her an easel, canvas and paints and it all began. Dreaming of fashion illustration, she found her first job at age 15 with Neiman Marcus in downtown Dallas working in the art department as an ad model. She spent the next two years between high school and the 7th floor of NM, riding the bus to work each day and living the dream. She continued with her modeling doing runway, commercials and photography shoots through age 34. She has her BFA from Stephen F. Austin State University.
