Growing Together
Series
The first drawing in this series was auctioned at Community Living Centers’ 42nd annual Celebrity Chefs Dinner to benefit its disabled residents. They were all assigned chores, which helped the entire group live happily. The residents’ efforts reminded Lauren of a garden, which takes labor to maintain, but can produce beautiful flowers that bring joy to anyone who sees them.

Muted Shadow
Series
The word “muted” has multiple meanings; it may refer to a lack of sound or a low intensity of color. Although the images in Muted Shadow give the impression of silence and have been drawn in black-and-white, they command viewers’ attention through soft yet stunning details and dramatic shadows.
Orange Rose
This drawing’s rose is not only orange, but contains accents of red along with deep shadows; it stands out against a dark green background of foliage.
