Ann Laser
Step into World Peace thru inner peace one cup of tea at a time with latecomer artist Ann Laser.
In this episode, we speak with psychotherapist and artist Ann Laser to discuss her remarkable transition into the art world later in life. Ann shares her origin story, which began with a profound moment of clarity during a women’s retreat while creating a sculpture from throwaway materials—an experience that left her with the simple, unshakable knowledge that she was destined to be an artist. The conversation explores her subsequent journey from painting impressionistic landscapes in Arkansas to finding a nurturing community in the "City Different," Santa Fe.
The episode also highlights the unconventional and deeply supportive nature of Ann’s long-term marriage; her husband, David, encouraged her to follow her creative dreams, even if it meant living in separate states so they could each pursue what they love. Ann reflects on her integration into the Santa Fe art community as an extrovert and the importance of professional mentorship in her growth. As the dialogue moves into her current work and perspectives on legacy, she discusses the significance of her art as a lasting contribution and her desire for her major pieces to find homes in public spaces where they can offer peace to others.
