It’s easy to see what Laurie Swim (’71) loves if you look at her art. She loves the rocky barrens on Nova Scotia’s South Shore, the glittering sea, the mark of human endeavour on a hostile — but gorgeous — landscape.
Originally from Lockeport, Laurie lived in Toronto for over 20 years before returning home with her husband, Larry Goldstein, in 2004. Today the couple lives in Blue Rocks and Swim’s studio is on Lincoln Street in Lunenburg, next door to a gallery the couple opened this spring.
Laurie, who has written three books on quilt art, started sewing on a machine when she was 10 and studied fine art at Mount Allison and NSCAD, where she started weaving.
