I am so happy I found Lauren to create a portrait of my son! He is captured so lovely and I’m so pleased. She was easy and prompt to communicate with and I hope to work with her again!

It has been amazing collaborating with Lauren so far on my project! Lauren has been extremely punctual and professional in our correspondence and has worked hard to produce some beautiful sketches of our late puppy to paint on an exterior free public library. Lauren put together a sketch of the painting on a picture of the library so I could easily visualize the final product before committing to the project. I am very much looking forward to working with Lauren in the future!

Lauren created a portrait of my dog using pencil. Her work was beyond what I expected, and she provided such great quality and captured all the details of my pet! Her work is beautiful and she responded quickly to my interest and suggestions. Lauren showed me a sketch of the drawing before beginning, and sent me progress photos throughout the couple weeks it took to draw. She drew exactly what I wanted and her work is very detailed and realistic. I would 100% commission a portrait drawing from her again!

I was very pleased with the result we got for a mural in our school. We used Lauren for a senior class gift and it turned out great. She was also very professional and communicated very well with quick responses which helped us out a lot. With the help of her projector, she was able to finish the project in just three days which was very convenient. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars was because there were a couple differences between the digital rough draft we agreed upon and the finished mural. Although we had let her know and she had made the corrections in just a day. We are very happy with the product we got, especially for the price we paid. Lauren made this senior class gift come out great and we were glad we found her. I highly recommend her work to anyone looking for a muralist.

Lauren is very talented and communicates well. It is clear that a lot of time and effort is put into every piece. I was very happy once my art arrived and I will be requesting more in the future. The quality is great, I couldn’t recommend her more.
