Lauren, a student with a double major in photography and illustration, makes wicked art. Her doodles are full of life and her photos are full of wonder. When asked to describe her art style she states "I love to make dreamy photographs. As for illustration, I make whatever I feel like making. I suppose you could say it is monochromatic for the most part." While looking through her pieces one thing is for sure, they're never boring.
Yet when it comes to tools it seems that basics work best. "I love film (for photography). I'm just learning to appreciate digital but it doesn't seem to satisfy like film does. I miss the raw feeling that film photographs have. For Illustration, I love my mechanical pencil and a red coloring pencil." Lauren demonstrates that you don't need the latest tools to make great art, just a great mind.
And where does this bright young thing see herself in the future? "I have a lot of goals and the future is wide open right now. I'm planning on moving to a big dirty city after I graduate--I'd love to work for a fashion magazine. Eventually I'd like to end up living on a mountain in France doing freelance work from my own studio. But we'll see what happens. Things never turn out like I think they will!"
