**In this rapturous memoir, writer and activist Laura Coleman shares the story of her liberating journey in the Amazon jungle, where she fell in love with a magnificent cat who changed her life.**

Laura was in her early twenties and directionless when she quit her job to backpack in Bolivia. Fate landed her at a wildlife sanctuary on the edge of the Amazon jungle where she was assigned to a beautiful and complex puma named Wayra. Wide-eyed, inexperienced, and comically terrified, Laura made the scrappy, make-do camp her home. And in Wayra, she made a friend for life.

They weren’t alone, not with over a hundred quirky animals to care for, each lost and hurt in their own a pair of suicidal, bra-stealing monkeys, a frustrated parrot desperate to fly, and a pig with a wicked sense of humor. The humans, too, were cause for laughter and tears. There were animal whisperers, committed staff, wildly devoted volunteers, handsome heartbreakers, and a machete-wielding prom queen who carried Laura through. Most of all, there was the jungle—lyrical and alive—and there was Wayra, who would ultimately teach Laura so much about love, healing, and the person she was capable of becoming.

Set against a turbulent and poignant backdrop of deforestation, the illegal pet trade, and forest fires, The Puma Years explores what happens when two desperate creatures in need of rescue find one another.

**These classes are designed to nurture your individual artistic journey.**
**Each student embarks on their own project**, exploring mediums such as Oil Painting, Acrylic Painting, Drawing, and Lino Cut printing.
In drawing, topics range from fundamental techniques to advanced concepts like Perspective, Portraiture, Figure Drawing, and Still Life. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned artist, including those at university level, I provide guidance tailored to your skill level.
With a maximum of 10 students per class, you'll receive personalized attention to enhance your artistic growth. Lessons are conducted in English. My current German proficiency is level B1.
You're welcome to RSVP for lessons based on your availability. You're not obligated to attend every single Monday night. I understand that many of you have work commitments and may not be in Munich every week due to travel. Your flexibility is respected, and you can join the classes as your schedule allows.
**When booking, please let me know which medium you'd like to focus on and your current skill level.** This information is crucial for me to effectively tailor the lessons to your needs. By informing me in advance, I can prepare the materials and guidance specifically for you, ensuring a productive and fulfilling learning experience.

MORE ABOUT ME HERE BELOW
Hello, I am artist Lillian Gray and I am passionate about art and art history.
As an artist, I am known for painting large, bright portraits and capturing people's stories. You can check out my personal art on my website and insta - links below.
I have a degree in art and design and am skilled in a variety of mediums including Pencil Drawing, Charcoal, Watercolours, Oils, Spray paint, Printmaking, Clay, Sculpture, and Oil Pastels. I am also a trained illustrator and have assisted big and small companies with their digital art and design needs.
The Lillian Gray Art School is my passion project. It is a highly acclaimed art school in South Africa which teaches students of all ages. The school was founded in 2016 and currently trains more than 220 students in almost all mediums. I remain an active partner in the business, working with my highly skilled business partner to ensure the curriculum remains varied and up to date. I personally oversee all content creation and fact-checking for our art history lessons.
In 2021, circumstances led to our family moving to Munich. Having integrated into my new living environment, I saw the need for a bespoke art studio offering a creative environment for like-minded people to develop and grow with each other.
**Things you need to know about the lessons:**
\- To keep it intimate all classes are limited to 10 people – this ensures focused attention\.
\- Every student works on their own projects at their own level and speed\.

\- Art history is a true passion of mine and I pride myself in doing extensive research and bringing that knowledge and passion into all my lessons\. It helps to know we are standing on the shoulders of giants\.
You are never too young or too old to start your art journey. So, if you are a beginner or intermediate artist and keen to take your art to the next level, please join me.
