As an artist raised in the deep South, Lauren transforms the simple beauty and rich heritage that abounded in the Mississippi delta of her youth into visual form. It’s a heritage full of soul and colorful layers and a culture as rich as the fertile delta soil. Although she now resides in Brentwood, Tennessee, with her husband and 2 boys, she still feels the pull of that heritage as well as a new connection to the hills and valleys characteristic of the Tennessee landscape and the familiar spirit of the people who live there.
