3 Moves, 2 Dogs, 1 Biz, and a degree later ...

I’m back at it folks and ready for some art talk.

Never let it be said that grass has been growing under my feet.

The last several years were a whirling blur. At the start of my blog and studio, I had newly arrived back in the States, married, figuring out life, and suddenly relocating to live in Seattle for my husband’s career all in 3 and a half short years. Maybe, we can all agree that those initial years into your 30s are a doozy ?…

I had spine health complications to cope with during this time so it’s been a heck of a time. My health journey led me to a tunnel of research and a degree in Kinesiology, Human Movement Science. As much as I am able I have healed myself. The entire experience has deepened my life. My passion for remaining well and assisting other in the busy world of health and wellness became a small business where I care for others with wellness challenges. ( see laurahausler.com) I had a few bumps in the road on the way…. I didn’t expect that I would be teaching my body to walk again in 2019 or learning about the somatic movement back in 2015. In my movement work I have woven together a beautiful wellness opportunity I hope you will visit the work at some point. The anatomy of my movement expertise was born from my experiences in life drawing. I learned that in wellness when you view patients as their own masterpieces amazing things happen!

the years of 2020 and forward were for many of us “survival modes”.

For me moving back east, being near family, and enjoying a slower rhythm have been wonderful restarts for my senses.

So…. I’m here again. remade a room into my studio, with my easel, and my drawing tools. There is a bit of natural light pouring into my small window. I hoped against the odds I’d get back to it…. and here I am. The funny thing, I’m more confident and stronger at drawing now than ever. A little older, more gracious with myself, and genuinely experiencing my work as a joy in life.
