AND THE STORY GOES…

“I remember drives home from the family farm as a kid. I’d have my big rosy-pink binder open in my lap, writing down all the names of the animals I’d have at my very own rescue-sanctuary one day,” says Laura, Artist & Founder of “Central & Gus. “While the farm may now be a memory, it is also the seed of my dreams.

I love to draw. It is almost meditative to pencil myriad tiny lines until a beautiful life appears on the page. The characters I draw are a part of an interwoven community, each with their own tale. These stories come together to underline the understanding of worth and value in everyone and, from a larger perspective, the idea that we all have a gift that we must be responsible to, for ourselves and our community. This is Central & Gus.

To be able to build a veritable foundation from ideas on paper is a wonderful thing and we are so grateful to everyone that resonates enough to make this a reality. It is our hope that these animal drawings offer something special to you and, with a shoulder to the wheel and an eye to the horizon, as much support possible to animals in need. Currently, we donate a percentage of gross sales to animal welfare. Next step: our own sanctuary. So, here’s a glance above and a big thank you to you!

I am thrilled to partner with Eric & Christopher on this great new adventure!”
