About the Artist

As an artist, I want to bring to life the everyday scenes that people miss in the hustle and bustle of today’s society….the wonder of a flower, the mystery of sunlight making abstract shapes, the beautiful patina on old forgotten machinery. Being inspired by these scenes makes me paint. When I am “taken” by something, I am restless until I have created the image on paper. Painting has enabled me to be more observant and appreciative of the beauty and the richness of everyday life. Painting inspires and motivates me and is my personal way of expressing my joy with life and all that God has given us.

Lauren received a degree in art from East Carolina University,Greenville, NC. Having spent most of her life as an interior designer, she has found her passion in watercolor. She has been painting for fourteen years and has studied with and taken workshops from Ann Howes, Jean Uhl Spicer, Nancy Barch, Homer Johnson, Eric Weigardt, Jim McFarlane, and Mel Stabin.

Lauren has been teaching watercolor for eleven years. As an instructor, she loves to share her knowledge and techniques, yet, focus on the individual needs of each student. She teaches locally at the Greater Norristown Art League, The Wayne Art Center, and Methacton High School.
