🪻Lauren Donnison🪻

I am a multidisciplinary artist from South Yorkshire with a background in computer science, film studies and art. My work focuses on lived experiences such as hardship, bereavement and mental health struggles. I create using a variety of media and approaches, guided by emotion, memory and reflection. My practice is shaped by my own journey and aims to connect with others through honest and thoughtful storytelling. Each piece is an attempt to express something real and human, encouraging moments of understanding through shared experience. 

Outside of my creative work when I'm not elbow deep in acrylic paint, I have a deep appreciation for metal and rock music, alternative fashion and the evolving intersections between art and technology. I'm passionate about language learning (Currently Polish), fascinated by emerging tech, and always curious about the world - whether through road trips, exploring car culture, or getting lost in a good video game. I spend too much time on social media, never say no to ice cream, and am constantly seeking new ways to connect, express, and create. 

If my updating schedule is non-existent, that's because I've probably convinced myself that spending days on end exploring the city for inspiration is self-care, not escapism (it's both).
