​     Hello! I'm Lauren, the artist behind the flowers. I wish I could claim that I'm as elegant as the dahlias I paint, but in reality I'm a scrappy girl from the PNW. I'm born and raised in Spokane, WA (creative by nature), and am proud to be a part of Spokane's growing art community. 

     I took every art class I could get my hands on in high school, but made the decision to go to business school after graduation for a more "practical" degree. Well, the joke was on me! After graduating from EWU with bachelor degrees in Operations Management, Marketing, and Communication studies, the urge to paint had never been stronger! It's now been 5 years since I started proudly calling myself an artist, and I don't think that I can ever go back.

     When I'm not painting flowers, you can most likely find me renovating my 1913 home. I had plastic tool belts instead of dolls growing up - I've been waiting for projects like this since I was a kid! I'm also likely obsessing over or playing with my studio kitten Biscuit. Follow me on Insta just for her, trust me. My arborist husband and I are creating a simple life prioritizing joy and creativity. It's fantastic! I'm happy you are here becoming a part of it.
