VALUES
Cooperation & Collaboration
Life is more meaningful shared — with the people, places, and other beings that share their beauty with us. There is SO much beauty in healthy relationships. The art of learning how to skillfully cooperate in mutual respect is one of my main goals in life. I’m human, so I know I’ll make mistakes but I’m so grateful to those that are willing to learn with me.
Safety
Especially for women and children. We were all children once and it’s our responsibility as adults to advocate for the innocent and for those who do not have the same capacity to say no — a child doesn’t have the same understanding or strength as an adult. As a women, I see a world in which we advocate for greater safety for children and the future women and men of this world.
Community
The best things in life are shared. We rise by lifting others and I am ever indebted to the artists, lands, women, and good hearts that have come before me so that I can be here to. We have this life because others said yes to us and I intend to say yes to others.
Beauty
I’m not talking about being something other than who you are kinda’ beauty. I’m talking about appreciating the flowers on your evening walks, the way the sun sifts through your window, laugh lines, and jeans with holes in them from being love worn. Beauty in the presence of life.
Play
The best learning come from trying something new. To continually play with life — not to be the best at something but to learn with others and enjoy their gifts and give your own laughter and care to those you have the blessing of experiencing life with.
Simplicity
Good rest. Good food. Valuing hard work, honesty, unkept hair and a garden…Finding people to share life with and living in appreciation of all the simple joys that are actually so profound.
About Laur
As a child Lauren always knew herself as wanting to be an artist and it’s been a lifelong remembering— to come home to her roots and reconnect with her creativity.
Lauren grew up in Alberta, Canada —both within the city of Edmonton and rurally in Seba Beach, Alberta.
Lauren looks to create art as an expression of love and acceptance towards life (in all it’s complexities), beauty and vibrancy. Her work is diverse and playful and she hopes to inspire others to create something authentic for themselves as well.
Lauren looks to serve those that are feeling lost within the current cultural expectations and looks to help streamline a sense of connection to authenticity, to nature, and to spirit by revisiting ancestral cultures while weaving them into creative ways of moving forward.
Lauren attributes her own learning of natural cycles to farming— having worked closely and lived with nature intimately, she wishes to share this sense of place with those she works with.
She has a background in yoga, Thai Bodywork, farming veggies, and with her work as an artist.
Outside of her work shared here, you can find her buzzing around within the community of Deeply Rooted Market Garden
