Description:	Lauren is a self-taught Mixed Media Artist. She presently lives outside of Atlanta, Georgia. Originally from New Jersey, you can occasionally hear her saying "Y'all I need a cup of cau-fee". She entered the craft world after the birth of her first child. Memory Art, in particular scrapbooking, is where she developed her love for paper. Lauren was introduced to Altered Art and Collage Art very soon thereafter. Still longing to find her niche, she was drawn to the art of bookmaking. It was a natural fit. Her books are full of earthy tones of color and texture. She creates art with her books. All the individual parts that are transformed into a book -- from the covers, to the stitching to the paper chosen to be signatures -- come together to sing a song. Each piece is chosen for the note and the harmony it brings to the music that is made. Lauren has realized her goal of achieving creative freedom and encourages others to find their own. After only a few short months, she realized that her artistic process opened her to a new level of expression. After the birth of twin boys, Lauren decided to walk away from an academic career as an epidemiologist and balance her new found love of life as a Mother and an Artist. As an imaginative craft designer, her work appears in national magazines. Lauren is available to teach classes, develop mixed media projects, and is always looking for special requests and new challenges. "There are no mistakes in ART, just opportunities to embellish."
