ABOUT THE ARTIST
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Lauren Schefter
Creating works of art has been a hobby of mine because I find it satisfying to see the process of images in my head come to life. I like to create pieces that are “beyond the norm” and dream-like. When I see certain pieces of art, I think “wow that is such a creative idea, I wish I came up with it myself”. My goal for each of my pieces is to be on the receiving end of this compliment.
I am still experimenting with materials and techniques in order to find my style of artwork. I would like to work on making my work more realistic. Because I consider myself a perfectionist, I find myself coming up with ideas that I am proud of, but once they are on paper I pick out things that are wrong with the risk. Taking risks in art is something that I find exciting. There is always that fear that it will not turn out as expected but executing that unique idea is worth it. I am inspired by my friends, whether they are artistic or not. When seeing unique styles on the internet, I find sparks of inspiration and think of ways to make the idea my own. Everyday, I am surrounded by nature and have the opportunity to spark inspiration. Seeing the colors of sunsets and the way sunlight shines through leaves gives me inspiration to depict these natural opportunities.
