I love nature. Looking at different plants, animals and landscapes inspire me to try and capture them. — Lauren Kerjan

Lauren loves colour and works predominantly in gouache, watercolour and chalk pastel. Her newest creative exploration is in digital art. These mediums empower her to translate fine detail with immense softness, transforming everyday plant and animal subjects into gentle, captivating, lyrical beings. Like the turtle who confidently glides over magical coral in Floating Over Magical Coral (2020), or the deer in Happy Deer in Nighttime (2020) who serenely gazes out, inviting the viewer to peer back and into their world.


Lauren’s imagery is highly sought after. In the last three year she has produced commissions for Westpac and Liberty Speciality Markets, and in 2020 her work was included in a collaborative design for the City of Sydney’s Creative Hoardings project. Titled Midnight Zoo, the work features her enigmatic zebra and currently adorns hoardings across the city. Lauren has also engaged in a number of collaborations, with Red Room Poetry and designers Corban and Blair, and been curated into exhibitions at Peacock Gallery, Auburn and AIRSpace Projects, Marrickville (Session Vessels, 2018, curated by Rafaela Pandolfini).
