Crystalline Print

Lauren Everhart is a Chicago-based multidisciplinary artist whose work lives in the tension between abundance and restraint. Her creative practice spans two distinct yet complementary worlds: the maximalist vibrancy of her illustrated work — rich with color, story, and fantasy — and the meditative quiet of her monochrome photography. Together, these modes form a dialogue between motion and stillness, saturation and silence. In her Chicago in Monochrome series, Lauren explores the city’s iconic and hidden structures as studies in light, shadow, and form. Working exclusively in black and white, she distills architecture to its essential geometry, inviting viewers to experience the city as sculpture — monumental, intimate, and timeless. Her work resonates with collectors, designers, and urban lovers seeking artwork that bridges minimalism and emotion, offering both visual sophistication and quiet reflection.
