Lauren Browning, a talented artist in her 30s based out of Colorado Springs, CO, has found herself drawn to art ever since she can remember, always drawing or coloring what was in her mind. At the age of 18, she discovered her love for painting and has been perfecting her craft ever since.

Lauren’s primary subjects are women, painted in her own unique style of both realistic and abstract. Her favorite medium is oil paint, though she also enjoys working with acrylic and watercolor paints, saying that she often lets her subject dictate the medium in each of her paintings.

She intends to continue honing her craft for as long as she can hold a paint brush, declaring that due to her love of her craft, her subjects, and the act of bringing the souls of her work into the world, she could do nothing else.
