Lauren explores intricate natural forms in glass, drawing influence from her family’s rich history of makers. She incorporates the simple, repetitive patterns of her grandparent’s prized dahlias into her elaborate vessel structures. Lauren is constantly experimenting with new and innovative techniques to push the scale and complexity of her work.
Lauren was born in Ohio and raised throughout the Midwest. She earned her BFA from Bowling Green State University, her MFA from the Rhode Island School of Design, and a collegiate teaching certificate from Brown University. She has spent the last nineteen years teaching art and maintaining a full-time studio practice. Lauren currently lives and works in Lake Forest, Illinois.
Her work is found in many public and private collections. She has worked on projects for The Walt Disney Company, Owens-Illinois, and many others. Her work can be purchased at the Corning Museum of Glass in Corning, New York, Sandra Ainsley Gallery in Toronto, Toledo Museum of Art, and Museum of Glass in Tacoma, Washington.
