Perfectly Imperfect.

Hey, I’m Lauren…

I'm a self-taught American artist living in Portugal. I create expressive mixed-media paintings that celebrate imperfect beauty.

My goal is to make the 6-year-old version of myself proud.

Working with acrylic, watercolor, spray paint, pastels, and collage, I build layered compositions where color, texture, and form collide. Some works emerge through faces and curvy bodies; others move further into abstraction.

Stick around and follow me on Instagram to see my new works (everything is for sale) and other behind the scenes antics.

Don’t be a stranger, either. Feel free to reach out if you have questions or are interested in a piece - I can make any original into a print.

Cheers! xoxo
