About

Lauren works in her sunny, plant-filled studio in the mountains outside of Asheville, North Carolina, creating art with beauty and soul. Her work has always reflected the combination of her quiet upbringing in the Midwest + the adventure of far-away places she has sought as an adult, bringing a quality of whimsy and discovery that inspires and calls forth happiness. 

A quartzy life is one that's multifaceted: thoughtful and many-sided, yet simple and beautiful - and that's the kind of life Lauren aims to lead and reflect in her art. She loves using bright happy colors in her illustrative work, and incorporating life lessons and musings in her written work, which includes themes of growth, healing, and gratitude. From her writing to her visual creations, Lauren deeply believes that adding beauty to the world helps us heal and experience life, each other, and ourselves in essential ways. Her studio reflects her love of beauty as equally as her work, and in addition to her art, you can explore the beauty and behind-the-scenes of her creative life and studio space on instagram.
