Meet the artist
My name is Lauren and I am an illustrator who loves to create scenes full of whimsical moments, fashions of another time, and talking animal friends!
I was raised homeschooled in a household full of artists where creativity was encouraged. Whether it was drawing, dance, music, costume making or putting on shows in the living room, I have always had the freedom to express my creative ideas and interests. In my later teen years I decided to start sharing my artwork online which led me to discover my love of illustration and picture books!
When I’m not drawing and in my own world… you can find me baking, crafting, taking walks on nature trails, or collecting trinkets and previously loved items at the local antique markets.
