ABOUT THE ARTIST

Hey! I'm Lauren!

Making art has been a lifelong passion and hobby of mine.

My childhood was enriched art books filled with works of masters like Van Gogh, Picasso, Matisse and Monet. I created my own hand-drawn animations with frame-by-frame sequences after watching cartoons. I got up early on Saturdays to watch Bob Ross paint (RIP). I collected color swatches from the hardware store and framed my homework with doodles in the margins. I sketched passengers on the train, patrons at the cafe, and specimens at museums.

I have since graduated from drawing on the walls of my parent’s home as a toddler to using color, light, and a keen eye for detail to transforming your most cherished memories into beautiful works of art.

While I am largely self-taught, I took classes throughout my schooling covering areas of traditional media, digital media, and even 3D sculpture/ceramics, and motion capture animation. I also supplemented my art journey with art intensives, workshops, and life figure drawing. I journal and bring sketchbooks when I travel. I love surrounding myself with avenues for art, and other creatives!

A woman with glasses and long dark hair is sitting at a table, writing on a piece of paper with a clear pen. She is wearing a gray cardigan over a black floral top and has a focused expression. On the table in front of her are various art supplies, including markers and papers.

I’m often found cuddling up with our cat, our newborn daughter, and a cup of coffee with my spouse.

I will eat scalding hot ramen in any weather. My favorite part of the brownie is the corner piece (yes, I said it!). I enjoy stand-up paddle boarding, playing board games, and weightlifting. I collect handmade pottery (mugs especially), and my favorite instrument is the cello.

My ideal vacation includes a sunrise hike in the mountains to an alpine lake followed by a barbecue lunch and ice cream.

When I’m not creating, I’m a hospital physical therapist by day.
