Hi! I’m Lauren, an artist based in Joburg. I love colour and I believe PLAY is uber powerful and we don’t do it enough, especially as adults (me included). Every medium is my friend (just about), so I dabble in it all – acrylic, oils, watercolours, clay. And I want to do more! – collage, prints, carving, I don’t know, all of it! I believe in the power of creativity to heal and to help us rest and be present. There is a wonderful thing that happens when you create and slowly but surely the world switches off around you. For me, creating is a journey of choosing myself and choosing gentleness. AND a journey of rebellion against society’s need for speed. Through creativity I chase an alternative to the fast pace and materialism around me. I love bringing people along on this journey too!
