About

I'm Lauren, a Colorado-based watercolor artist inspired by the beauty, color, joy, and wonder of the natural world.

​

I was born and raised in Colorado, spending much of my childhood outdoors. When I wasn't outside, you could usually find me coloring, painting, or drawing, or crafting for hours. From the very beginning, my artwork was inspired by nature—flowers, butterflies, ladybugs, and anything colorful, lively, and vibrant.

​

My grandparents were all avid gardeners and nature enthusiasts. A visit to their homes often began with a garden tour, where I learned to appreciate the intricacies and beauty of plants.

 

My grandmother, Alice, shared a special love for flowers and gardens. She visited me in Colorado twice each year, and every trip included long walks through gardens, visits to art museums, and a special, unspoken bond rooted in our mutual appreciation for the beauty of nature. We also traveled regularly to visit family in Taos, New Mexico—a place filled with color, creativity, and artistic wonder.

​

Although I have been creating art my entire life, I set my regular artistic practice aside for many years while building my career and starting my family. When life finally allowed a little more room to breathe, my art returned with renewed energy, perspective, and purpose.

​

Today, I create artwork inspired by the flowers, butterflies, and natural beauty that have captivated me since childhood and inspired my family for generations. Through my work, I hope to share the peace, joy, wonder, and sense of connection that nature brings. Each piece is my way of capturing the fleeting moments of beauty found in the natural world, and my hope is that it brings a wholesome sense of peace, connection, and joy into your life.
