Named and signed on the back: Laurel Burch HIBISCUS HEART. A Genuine LAUREL BURCH COLLECTIBLE from the mid-1980s. Laurel Burch went on to launch her business, now called Laurel Burch Artworks, on February 24, 1960. She began making paintings commissioned by restaurants, businesses, and private collectors. "I found metal in a junkyard and hammered it out on the back of an old frying pan." She began making jewelry and selling it on the streets of San Francisco from tackle boxes. Some local stores began stocking her creations, and a businessman, Shashi Singapuri, took samples of her work to China. She went to China in 1971 and discovered cloisonné, a kind of enamel work, with which she designed paintings and had the designs made into earrings.
