The story of Laurel Burch is one of triumph over adversity. She was born with a rare bone disease, and was raised in a difficult environment, according to the website that features her licensed products. Eventually, she settled in San Francisco, where she found love and acceptance within the art community.
Although Burch died in 2007, her whimsical animal prints are still available. The “Dogs and Doggies” pattern on the umbrella below typifies her style, of colorful two-dimensional animals against a dark background.
