ILauren Reid is a 25-year-old painter from White Plains, NY. While her artwork ranges from charcoal drawings to pastel drawings, her primary medium is oil painting. Lauren Reid’s art is about understanding herself and others while connecting the role of hurt in a beautiful life. Lauren’s paintings serve as a vehicle for social change by expressing emotion and capturing the beauty of the human experience. Lauren wants to rewrite the backstory of the struggle in life’s hardships instead of the hardships writing the backstory, accomplishing this through the development of pieces that involve people reflecting on emotions and coping with troubles. She aims to show beauty without omitting the harsh. Creating art has influenced her life by giving her a sense of who she is and is becoming. She dreams of creating spaces and experiences that will serve as both a liberation and outlets for expression.
