Off-Camber Arts

Based in Kalamazoo, Lauren has been creating art for as long as she can remember. Her artistic journey began with childhood classes at Kendall College and eventually led her to earn a degree in Art Education from Western Michigan University.

Over the past 17 years, Lauren has taught with Kalamazoo Public Schools, Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp, and the Kalamazoo Institute of Arts (KIA). She primarily works in ceramics and printmaking but enjoys exploring nearly every artistic medium.

When she's not in the studio, Lauren can often be found exploring the woods—usually on a mountain bike—or tending to her garden.

Lauren's mission is to create artwork that tells a story. Whether it reminds someone of a special place, marks a meaningful moment, or becomes a cherished gift, she hopes each piece sparks a personal connection. Every creation is inspired by a sense of adventure, curiosity, and whimsy.
