"Mariam" Painting

Lauren Pearce is a black artist based in Cleveland Ohio who pulls inspiration from her community, creating powerful mixed media art and completing texture in her portraits, and iconic shape and color to her murals that captivate all who walk by them. Her passion for expressing her identity led her to become a young student at an art School. At an early age of 24, she began her professional career as an artist. Using an array of materials in her work, she transfers her world onto her paintings and allows her imagination to bring forth the colorful language of Identity, race, and womanhood, beyond a canvas.
