Laurie Fagen
Laurie Fagen has successfully created, launched and sustained a number of entrepreneurial businesses, including in commercial and cable television, video production and community newspapers, the latter where she and her husband, Geoff Hancock, own and operate the SanTan Sun News (www.SanTanSun.com), a twice-monthly community newspaper serving Chandler and parts of Gilbert.
In 1999, she founded Fagen Designs (www.FagenDesigns.com), designing and creating fiber art, wall and wearable art pieces for public display, commission work, galleries and exhibits. She has shown her work in Arizona, California, Iowa, North Carolina, and has pieces in private collections around the country. She is also a jazz singer in the Valley (www.LaurieFagen.com) who performs in area clubs, restaurants, jazz festivals and private parties. She co-owned Art on Boston Gallery for three years before being forced to close in March 2010 due to the poor economy.
