Laurie Geis is a botanical artist in the Finger Lakes region of New York, creating soft, romantic floral artwork inspired by flowers, faith, quiet beauty, and the healing comfort of bringing nature indoors.
​
Laurie has always been drawn to visual beauty and composition. In the early 2000s, while designing wedding albums with her sister Julie, she taught herself Photoshop and developed an eye for layout, balance, and the way images can tell a story on a page. Years later, after more than two decades as a bakery owner and maker, that same love of craft, detail, and beauty began to take new shape through botanical art.
​
Laurie began drawing during a long and ongoing season of physical healing. Still creating from bed, she turned to art as a way to process emotion, stay connected to hope, and make something beautiful in the middle of a difficult, life-altering chapter. At first, it was simply an outlet — a place for stress, prayer, color, and feeling to go. But as she began experimenting with floral linework, lettering, and soft watercolor-style backgrounds, she discovered a new gift unfolding.
​
Working digitally on her Surface Pro, Laurie combines delicate linework with watercolor-style softness and gold-toned details to create art that feels peaceful, feminine, and full of grace. The digital medium felt familiar from her design background, but also practical and freeing during a season when traditional paints, inks, and supplies were not always easy to use from bed.
​
Her walk with Jesus is central to her life and to this new chapter. Laurie sees this creative unfolding as a gift from Him — a reminder that beauty can still bloom in hard places, and that hope is not only something we feel after the storm has passed, but something we learn to carry while we are still walking through it.
​
This journey is still unfolding. Through her artwork, reflections, and shared glimpses along the way, Laurie invites others to follow along — especially those walking through their own quiet battles, healing seasons, or new beginnings. Her hope is that each piece offers a breath of peace, a sense of companionship, and a reminder that light still finds us.
