About Laurel Burch: Laurel Burch grew up with the double burden of an unstable home and a genetic condition that made her bones prone to snapping. Her illness forced her to live with pain and frequent hospital stays for most of her life. Settling in San Francisco as a 19 year old single mom, during the turbulent and exciting 1960s, she scraped out a living making one of a kind jewelry in her kitchen.  Her jewelry, made out of discarded pieces of metal, beads and other found objects, became hugely successful. A self taught artist, she expanded into painting and business, eventually achieving great success in both. Determined to have her art be an uplifting force for good she imbued each of her artworks with her unique, positive and vibrant look on life.

This journal's cover design is part of a series of paintings titled Mystic Horses. Laurel Burch composed a poem that captures the energy of her horse images and Laurel's love of horses:

Mystic Horses-all Grace and Beauty,

these elegant beings...

Strong legs pulsating, pounding

rhythms upon the earth

like a drum beating in resonance

with my own ancestral heart.

Is there anything more

sensuously beautiful than the horse?

... I think not
