Receive Text UpdatesLaurel doesn’t just love sunsets—she collects them! As a young artist and photographer, she’s on a mission to capture nature’s best skies, where her favorite colors come alive. She’s painted sunsets on dinner plates: oceans, deserts, mountains—and she’s just getting started! Her dream? To chase sunsets around the world, so far visiting Hawaii’s golden glow, Alaska’s blazing skies, and Iceland’s icy magic. Nature fuels her art, and every sunset adds to her masterpiece and passion for nature.
She’s panda-monium in human form! For her 16th birthday, she dreams of a trip to China to meet her furry heroes. She’s obsessed with their six "fingers" and how they swim like bear Olympians. When her panda dress ripped, she learned to sew—just to save it! Her top sidekick? A stuffed panda from her great-grandma. She even loves the legends of why pandas wear black and white. Her panda passion is wild, deep, and ready for adventure!
Anything at the beach! She loves digging giant holes (maybe all the way to China!), hunting for shiny shells, and peppering her marine biologist mom with questions about every creature she finds. When she’s not exploring the sand, she’s off on a kayaking adventure, paddling through the waves. For Laurel, the beach is the best place to play, explore, and let her curiosity splash around!
