Lauren's artistic background began with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Urban Design and Landscape Architecture from Colorado State University. However, Lauren has always been captivated by creative endeavors; especially with the use of fabric. Her unique talent, sense of humor and years of experience have culminated in the creation of a variety of sensational fiber/mixed media art works which are truly inspiring.



Concentrating on fiber and textiles, Lauren is able to pursue her love of creative sewing, mixed media embellishment and colored pencil drawing on fabric. Her often whimsical creations encompass unique design, confluence of color, extensive bead work and surprising attention to detail. Lauren's originals are an exploration of spirit, self and imagination.
