Lauren Curtis was graduated with a BFA from Mason Gross School of the Arts, (Rutgers) in 1988. She enjoys working in a variety of media, including oils, pen & ink, watercolor and photography & is happiest when creating pieces that represent her love of nature, wildlife, travel and spirituality. The mythology of ancient cultures are fused with the symbols of modern -day , natural spiritual practices, to form a unique, eclectic style. These images are often portrayed through the womans perspective, showing the importance of The Feminine. Travel is another major influence in Laurens work and the pieces, usually photographs, created from these journeys helps the artist to convey the beauty found in diversity, as well as in the similarities, that run through various cultural belief-systems. Lauren has had artwork published by greeting card and crafter companies, magazines and historical organizations. One of her pieces was selected for the permanent collection of the Joyce Kilmer Library in central NJ. Her work has been displayed in private collections, healthcare centers and galleries and was selected for a solo exhibit at Johnson & Johnson World Headquarters, 2009. She was a featured artist on the Science Channels TV show Oddities 2011 and has done radio interviews as well. Lauren has participated in over 95 solo, group & juried exhibitions and is also a member of NJ Arts organizations. Her artwork has been sold throughout the US and abroad, and can be seen in venues in NJ, NY, MA and PA.
