Description

Laura has a passion for houseplants and has created a small jungle inside her home. She now combines her interest in plants with a love of drawing and painting, a combination which provides a calm sanctuary among the stressors of life. During the interview, Laura opens up about anxiety and depression and how nature and art help her find strength, and care for herself, during stressful times.
