Louie
Girl's founder, Laura Burke
has always been passionate with arts and crafts.
During
her childhood she learned to knit, crochet and sew.
While raising her family, she earned a BS in Business
Administration
and enjoyed a successful 20+ year career
in the computer industry.
In her "spare time", Laura took formal courses to hone her pottery, oil painting,
fiber (spinning, weaving, dyeing)
and jewelry design skills.
In
2002, Laura had the opportunity to focus more in the arts,
thus the birth of "Louie Girl Accents & Accessories".
Laura's love of working with fibers, lead her from spinning fibers
into yarn,
to her current passion of felting the fibers
to create
dolls, sculptures
and artistic renderings.
The Louie Girl collection also includes knit
and crochet accessories,
sterling silver or gold filled jewelry with semi-precious stones
and
papier mache and plaster craft sculptures. With
the loving support of her husband David,
and the continued encouragement from her family and friends,
Laura looks forward to adding
new products to
the Louie Girl line.
