Laurie Snow Hein

Although Laurie Snow Hein has always drawn, when her kindergarten teacher asked if she was going to be an artist, she replied that she planned to be a doctor. Her talent was inescapable, though, as both parents, a grandmother and brother were also artistic. Beginning her venture into art by coloring sepia-tone photographs for her dad's studio at the age of eight, Snow Hein studied with a well-known illustrator through high school and received a full scholarship to Columbus College of Art and Design. Now a mother of six and an avid animal lover, Snow Hein's favorite subjects are children and animals as revealed by her sensitive and creative works of the two. At home in Lake Worth, Florida, Snow Hein carries her love for animals into the ring, raising show horses, goats and chickens. Snow Hein refers to her style as Old World Realism, but her technique often gives way to abstract or impressionistic forms.
