My name is Lawren Alice. That's my first and last name. I’m an artist, muralist, and full-time gallery curator based in Philadelphia. I’ve made art for as long as I can remember, and wanted so badly to find a style that actually felt like my own. In 2018, something finally clicked, and I realized I had my own style that I had slowly been working towards the whole time. 

 

My work is mostly freehanded patterns that grow outward from a center point. I’m inspired by damask patterns, botanical elements, and have a deep love for all things ornamental. Color is my favorite part of the process. Since I freehand everything and have make my mistakes work, each piece is always a new experiment. I’m always looking for new ways to play with color and try to find new combos with each new thing I make. 

 

I’ll be frank - If you're looking for art with deep meaning, I don’t think you’ll find it here. My work isn’t really about any delivering any sort of important message. I really just make beautiful things to look at and hope that my designs make people feel calm, and happy.

 

Murals are my favorite thing to paint because of their bigger visual impact, but I’ll happily paint anything. One day, I’d love to do more with textile pattern design and product packaging. I dream of designing patterns for flamboyant suits and cool outdoorsy gear, fancy chocolate bars, and beautifully wrapped soaps. I want to make packaging pretty enough that you’d want to save it, even after you finish with the product. And when it comes to clothing, I just want it to stop people in their tracks.
