LAURA’S STORY
Four years ago, Artists for Trauma Founder, Laura Sharpe, was involved in a horrific helicopter accident on Catalina Island, a small island off the southern California coast. In the four years since her tragic accident, Laura has undergone a remarkable physical, emotional and spiritual recovery. Her personal experience in dealing with the devastating effects of trauma and her use of art as a means to re-connect with herself and her community, led her to launch Artists for Trauma.
