Laurie Beth Finkelstein has studied at multiple institutions from an early age, including Los Angeles County Museum of Art, USC Idyllwild School of Music and the Arts, Otis Art Institute, California State University, Long Beach, and through private instruction. Laurie has explored most mediums, ultimately choosing acrylic as her medium of choice. In 2008, Laurie began a journey of geologically inspired concepts.
Today, Laurie paints anything and everything that tickles her fancy. Since moving to Northern California, plein air painting has become a favorite pastime with her favorite locations in Bodega Bay, the Russian River, and pretty much anywhere in Sonoma and Marin Counties.
