**About Lauren DeMarco** Lauren DeMarco is an artist living in a humble home by the beach filled with thrifted treasures, art, and patterns. She has dabbled in all sorts of media since she was young, more seriously when she became a nurse in 2011 and needed an outlet to cope with the challenges of her job. Over the last few years, she has found her voice, developed her skills, and committed to a medium through which she can communicate ideas around themes that are important to her like identity, nostalgia, growth, and gratitude. She uses layers of pattern and texture to transform simple concepts into interesting pieces to warm your home.
