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 natural beauty of the waterfalls, gorges, and hills, with Cayuga Lake at its heart. She'll tell you all about the academic, intellectual atmosphere, the quirky, thriving creative community, the distinct architecture and history of the homes. The rich diversity of the people and the beauty of the area form 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 believes strongly that your life IS your art. Her 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 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.  I never tire of looking at the unique details, the lines of the building. When you think of your life as a work of art, then your home is the frame that holds everything together. This is what inspires me to help my clients."

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, she was the director of the Ithaca Festival, an arts and music festival. Laurel has volunteered for many non-profit organizations in town. As a visual artist, she remains active in the local arts community.

She loves the challenge of helping you find the ideal property that will meet your needs.
