Lauren creates ceramic sculptures, installations and functional objects. Inspired by natural forms, she explores landscape through multiple, interlocking and nested elements. She enjoys working with clay because it encourages invention and possibilities.
Lauren’s work has been widely exhibited at various galleries including the Biggs Museum in Dover, DE, Marlboro Gallery in Largo, MD, Crane Arts Building in Philadelphia, PA, Brooklyn Artist Gym in Brooklyn, NY, LSU School of Art Gallery in Baton Rouge, LA, and the Chester County Art Association Gallery in West Chester, PA. Her work,Repetition, was purchased for permanent collection by the Brown Forman Distillery in Louisville, KY. Most recently she was selected to present Outside In, a solo exhibition and lecture at Arcadia University’s Harrison Gallery as part of the Alumni Spotlight Series. Currently she is working collaboratively combining language and clay in an attempt to draw attention to the human impact on nature.
