In February 2024, Lauren challenged herself to become a more diligent and consistent artist by creating a new art piece every day for 365 days.

She gave herself these guidelines:

2) The goal is progress, not perfection.

3) Lean into what my creative side wants to make, no matter how silly or weird.

This is her journey…
