Drawings + Paintings

"When I draw, I am at peace. Almost in meditation. I make patterns and connections and am contemplative. When I paint, I am at play. I play with color, shape, and symbols."

Lauren Clayton

In her intricate pencil drawings and collages, Lauren explores ideas of identity, connectivity, and our impact in our community and beyond. She enjoys using monochromatic palettes juxtaposed by bold moments of bright colors. Words and symbolism are often woven into her work, inviting people to spend time getting closer and thinking curiously. Her work has been on exhibition throughout the tri-state, DC and in Miami during Art Week. She participates in impact initiatives and creative direction for area organizations and is active in her community by mentoring art students and previously serving on local boards. Raised in Connecticut, Lauren studied painting and design at the Cooper Union School of Art in New York City. She's exhibited at area galleries, performed live paintings and murals. Lauren Clayton has works for sale and is available for commissioned work as well.
