Laurie Mendenhall Art: August 2026 Newsletter

Welcome to the August Newsletter! Did July fly by or was that just me? All of the sudden it's time to get ready to go back to school, the mornings seem oddly cooler, and it's August! I'm not ready for summer to be over!! July was full of more coastal art, jewelry making, plenty of family time, and also a full blown re-brand! Just as the last hours of July were upon us, the last edits were being made to the website and branding kit. It may seem counter-intuitive, but moving away from a...

Welcome to the July Newsletter! WOW! June was so busy! So sorry if you missed all the fun, but we are heating up around here and things are moving and shaking. June was full of art and fun with my show at Studio 136 Gallery in High Point, NC. What a wonderful turnout we had for my artist reception. Thank you to each and every one of you who came out, shared a laugh, enjoyed some art, and maybe even took home a piece or two. It was an evening memory I won't soon forget! I also had a GREAT time...

Welcome May! Welcome! It's been a busy spring so far around here. I'm currently preparing for my artist showcase at Studio 136 in High Point. Last year, I had a very casual artist meet and greet at the new gallery in High Point, NC, It was a tremendous success. Next month, I'm showcasing some of the work that I've been doing for the last year. What Happened in April? Everything! We had a great event at Studio 136 called Snack N Paint--for the kids! A free art event for the kids. We had music,...

Since, my buddy, Gary, introduced me to Connie and the...

Welcome to the Art Newsletter! Welcome! I've been wanting to start a newsletter for a while now. I already write two blogs--one focused on art and creativity, and another centered on energy work--and that's a lot of writing for me and a lot of reading for you. What I realized I was missing was a simple place to share announcements, new work, sales, and class offerings—all in one spot. This newsletter fills that gap. Here, you’ll stay up to date on what’s happening in my studio, get to know me...

Well, well, well....it's a newsletter from me!

Have you ever.... Been on an email list that went silent for so long you forgot you were on it? So when you finally get an email, you're thinking, did I sign up for this? Well, this is that time and for one reason or another (seriously, it could be Plexus, it could be art, or it could be reiki or yoga) you did sign up for this! It doesn't mean you have to stay, though I really would miss you. It just means that today, you have options. I'm sending this note to you, to let you know about a few...

Recently, I've been receiving huge nudges from the universe to share my gifts. Almost every day, I've found myself with some sort of cosmic nudge to do SOMETHING. I mean, I'm still painting. I try to create almost daily. I opened my Reiki studio where I offer Reiki in the late afternoons and on Saturdays. I have a book club, an accountability partner (actually 2). I want to start offering online Yoga classes for beginners. What else could it be? I meditated. I journaled. Finally, I realized I...

Hi, Reader I hope you've had an amazing Thanksgiving weekend! Life here has been crazy busy, but oh so much fun. The amount of personal healing I have done in the last two years has helped me realize I am not just ONE thing, I am MANY things! And these things that have helped me through my healing and growing journey, are just the things that I use to help you break out of the shell you've worn for years to grow and become MANY things! Looking for art and more creative ideas? Check out my...
