About Me
Hi! I'm Lauren, an Artist located in northern NJ.
I earned my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Illustration from UNC Charlotte in May 2023.
I’ve been drawing, painting, and creating for as long as I can remember, and I love working in a range of mediums including acrylic, watercolor, and pen and ink.
In March 2021, I became a cancer survivor, an experience that strengthened my appreciation for creativity, resilience, and connection.
Feel free to look around—I'm so glad you're here!

Tony the Tumor
I was diagnosed with Primary Mediastinal Large B-cell Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma at 21 years old. On the night of November 27th of 2020, my doctors found an 18 cm mass in my chest that was pressing on my lungs and heart.
Over the course of six months, I was treated with R/EPOCH chemotherapy infusions every 3 weeks, 5 days a week, 24 hours a day.
Six months later my tumor had shrunk exponentially and I was finally in remission.
After a long recovery, I was finally able to return to UNCC and finish my degree in Fine Arts.
I returned to Charlotte in the Fall of 2022 and spent both the fall and spring semesters working on an independent study inspired by my experience going through chemotherapy.
