Laurie Roberts on Art, Legacy, and Turning Grief into Creative Purpose

In this episode of The Art Coaching Club Podcast , I sit down with Laurie Roberts , founder of Larry Roberts Chicago — a textile brand reimagining the original artwork of her late husband, artist Larry Roberts. We talk about Laurie and Larry’s extraordinary love story, how she transformed her grief into a creative legacy, and what it means to preserve an artist’s vision after loss. Laurie shares how she translates fine art into rugs, fabrics, and wallcoverings, and how her business model — which donates 50% of proceeds to arts education — continues to give back. Laurie also draws on her 20+ years in interior design to share advice for creatives building brands that balance beauty, meaning, and impact. ✨ Learn more about Laurie and Larry Roberts Chicago : https://larryrobertschicago.com Check out The Next Chapter Travel and book your next dream getaway: https://www.thenextchaptertravel.com/ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
