Laurel D. Rund-Art from the Heart is the Essence of Laurel

Headshot of Laurel D. Red

Laurel uncovered her creative talents during a pivotal time in her life, when the Essence of Laurel came alive after she experienced a profound personal transformation.


Her Art from the Heart is where she channels her innermost creativity, embracing her role as an inspirational artist. Each of her pieces tells a unique story, inviting the viewer to explore and interpret its meaning.


In the wake of loss, Laurel found her voice through journaling and poetry. *Emerging Voices Living On: A Journey Through Loss to Renewal* emerged as a reflection of her journey from grief to healing.


At the core of Laurel's beliefs is this: "The story of my life is ever-unfolding. At times, it may take the form of drama, comedy, romance, or tragedy. Regardless of the genre, I know I am the author of my own story. If I find myself caught in a repeating narrative, I hold the power to rewrite the plot and shape the outcome.


Laurel's mantra is: "Until you spread your wings, you’ll never know how far you can fly."

Wisdom Rising by Laurel D. Rund


Through storms I’ve walked and golden skies,
Each moment carved a deeper truth.
The soul within me never dies,
Still shaped by time, still filled with youth.


With every breath, new thoughts arise,
Unfolding what I’ve yet to see.
I lift my gaze with open eyes,
And bless the form that carries me.


I’m made of stars, of dust and light,
A spark that flows through joy and pain.
I rise through shadows, claiming flight,
And dance beneath the falling rain.


The path behind is rich and deep,
Each step a thread that still holds true.
I gather what I’m meant to keep,
And weave a life from every hue.


With wings of courage, now I rise,
No longer bound by fear or flame.
Beneath the ever-changing skies,
I meet the wind, no longer tame.


With heart wide open to seeds I’ve sown,
I walk the truth my heart has known.
And now, at last, I clearly see—
I am a soul of wisdom, rising free.
