I have been a collector of all things "Laurel Burch" for years. I was saddend to find out yesterday that she had passed away from Osteoporosis.

Laurel Burch, Artist, Dies at 61
Ms. Burch translated her visions of "fantastic felines," mythical animals, colorful blossoms, butterflies, moons, hearts and imagined people, among myriad other imaginings, into colorful enamel jewelry, paintings, T-shirts, scarves, ceramics and tote bags, which were sold by thousands of stores.
In her last artworks she sometimes included words. One quoted an American Indian proverb: "The soul would have no rainbow if the eyes had no tears."
