Lauren Valerie

I'm Lauren Valerie, raised in the burbs of Chicago and living in Dallas. As a kid, one of the first things I remember is falling in love with art- it stirred, pushed and twirled the most feelings possible in me. It was a place where the spiritual, emotional, mental and physical could hold conversation.
I'm interested in perspective shifts and questioning cultural norms. There is always inspiration in the ever-flowing jumble of things that make up the universe, I'm haunted by all the beautiful and disturbing things.

Bachelor of Fine Arts, with illustration emphasis.
2005 Northern Illinois University

I have exhibited works in various galleries, shops, community spaces, and magazines.
