Milwaukee Artist | Curator | Educator

Under the mentorship of Artdose publisher, award winning artist and art educator, Frank Juarez, Lauren is beginning a new chapter in her studio practice.

From Lauren regarding her new body of work:

TO TESTIFY: recounting of one's journey to accepting Christ

I've begun documenting the testimonies of Christians of various backgrounds through portrait painting and videography. These are stories of people who have encountered Jesus and no longer conform to the patterns of this world. Each testimony has been carefully edited to preserve the thoughts and ideas of each participant.

My hope to get these portraits in front of viewers who do not know Jesus. Each portrait is displayed with a QR code leading the inquisitive to the recorded testimonies.

Viewers are invited to examine spiritual questions they have, to question truths they hold, and ultimately to hear the Good News.
