About

Laurie Maves (Guglielmi)'s non-traditional career path has evolved extensively in her nearly 50 years on the planet. She began her study of studio art at the University of Wisconsin in the early 1990’s. Unsure of how to launch her career, she traveled to Ireland to wait tables followed by stevedoring in Dutch Harbor, Alaska. During her travels, she realized she wanted to use her love of art to help people in some way.  


Subsequently, she studied Art Therapy and received her master’s degree  from the School of The Art Institute of Chicago in 1997.


Upon graduation she moved to Denver, Colorado, and worked as an Art Therapist for a wide variety of venues including but not limited to nursing homes, pre-school day treatment programs, cancer centers and  kindergartens. Throughout the two decades Maves spent in Colorado, she  was constantly drawing and painting, finding a niche for and successfully selling her work in the community. She established more  than 500+ collectors of her stylized representational work, mostly  without gallery representation. In 2008 Maves painted with three other artists live at Red Rocks Amphitheater for a crowd of 10,000 people, and developed as a somewhat “celebrity” live performance painter in the  region. 


In 2017, she and her husband, Ralph Guglielmi, relocated to the Sun Coast of Sarasota, Florida. The following year she enrolled in a three-day intensive intuitive  painting workshop led by German artist Bernd Haussmann that positively changed and overhauled the nature of her painting in a most exciting and necessary way. She found a new love for large-scale intuitive abstract painting, which not only constantly explored the deeply personal  subconscious, but also challenged her boundaries of media, color, mark making, and composition. She found that she wanted to share the  enlightenment of the creative process with others in a whole new way,  and established her own Arts and Art Therapies Studio, “The 11th  Orange,” in the spring of 2019. Here she encourages others to navigate their own creative journeys and to “find freedom in a brush,” similarly as  she has through large-scale free themed abstract painting.

Artist Statement 2020

“Painting is a deeply personal process of exorcising the subconscious. Specifically the Mixed Media Series “Prayers Going Up” (Prayers for 2020,) for me is not only a necessary process that supports continued mental health, it helps me visualize my own spirituality, as well as define a space for prayer and meditation.”  Maves’ larger than life paintings constantly explore a  revolving communication of intuitive information, with themes of mortality’s intersection with divinity. Directly inspired and influenced by the large scale art and messages of Swedish painter and theosophist, Hilma af Klint, as well as abstract expressionist Clyfford Still, her large-scale mixed media works transmit a cryptic sort of language via fields of color and mark making of varied spontaneity, size, and frequency.   Her free form application of oil and acrylic paints, oil and chalk  pastels, china markers and graphite, allows for the development of an  oftentimes raw yet authentic dialogue of the collective unconscious. The viewer is left to translate and be immersed in the fields she creates
