Lauren Valerie

I'm Lauren Valerie, raised in the burbs of Chicago, and living in Dallas for almost two decades. My art making started at a young age, one of the first things I remember is falling in love with art- it stirred, pushed and twirled the most feelings possible in me.
I find the balancing act of existence, perspective shifts, and relationships interesting, and I am constantly haunted by both the beautiful and disturbing.

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

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