Tompkins County is the Perfect Backdrop for Laurel Guy's Artistic Vision
Ask Laurel what she loves about Ithaca and the question will probably prompt a vivid description of the changing seasons (and surprising weather!), the waterfalls, gorges, and rolling hills, with Cayuga Lake at its heart. She'll tell you all about the academic, intellectual atmosphere and thriving artistic community. The distinct architecture and history of the homes capture a character she finds unique and charming. The rich diversity of the people and the beauty of the area are a perfect backdrop for pursuing her many activities and interests. It's a place that provides a blank canvas of possibilities just waiting to be discovered.
THROUGH THE EYES OF AN ARTIST
Laurel Guy believes strongly that your life IS your art, your most creative act. Their philosophy is you create your life just as the artist creates a painting, a composer writes a symphony, or the poet writes a poem. "My life has been colorful so far and I do my best to see, to really pay attention to the small moments that make up our days." said Laurel. "I love sitting in the backyard, and take in the view of the sky, the trees, fields and hills. I renovated a beautiful 100-year-old country church into my home, and I never tire of looking at the unique details, the lines of the building. If you think of your life as a work of art, your home is the frame that holds everything together. I know it is the same for my clients, and it is what inspires me to help them."
A PASSIONATE APPROACH TO COMMUNITY
For Laurel, the only thing better than living here is being able to give back to the stimulating community she is so passionate about. For many years, Laurel was the director of the Ithaca Festival, an arts and music festival. As a visual artist, she remains involved in the local arts community. She currently is the President of the Board of the Upstairs Gallery, which features the work of Finger Lakes artists. Laurel says, "The greatest contribution you can make is your time."
