Inspired by a scene along a historic carriage trail near Moses H. Cone Memorial Park, the main focal point commands attention—a mature oak tree standing tall and proud at the center of the composition. Its branches twist and turn, evoking a sense of its long history and the stories it holds within.
Various techniques were utilized to bring the scene to life. For example, the sky background was crafted using a woodblock, harnessing the natural woodgrain to emulate the soft drift of hazy clouds across the horizon. Fine details are paramount in this piece, with the large tree and distant tree line intricately hand-carved using a linoleum block. Each twisting branch is rendered with precision, contributing to the depth and intricacy of the composition.
Another noteworthy element within the scene is the ground beneath the tree, which was created using a technique called chine collé. Mango leaf paper, embellished with delicate leaves that mimic the foliage naturally falling from the tree, adds an extra layer of texture and depth to the scene. Due to the unique leaf patterns within the paper, each print is all the more unique.
It’s important to note that the artwork was made with archival materials, warranting both its artistic integrity and long-lasting quality. For a more in-depth exploration of this fascinating technique, you can find further information here.

I have a husband who pays attention, and so unexpectedly, on Christmas morning a couple of years ago, I unwrapped a cardboard tube. Inside it was a twin set – two prints, the prints I loved and wanted – the sweetest gift. I was ELATED. We had them specialty framed, and they live happily in unison together above our mantle, where I knew they always belonged. Thank you, Lauren! Thank you for giving visual life to a feeling and a memory that so many of us know, love, and cherish. You are MAGIC.

Since my husband and I moved from the southeast to the northwest last summer, I have tried to fill our new home with as many pieces and treasures from our former Appalachian home as I can. Lauren’s print is like a window back to the hills and the woods that we loved so much. Thank you so much for creating something that brings so much joy to my soul.

Lauren’s work is all over our home. I have nothing but good things to say. Her work is stunning, detailed, and clearly labor intensive. If we had a choice, we would live in Boone, but can’t, but we do keep the magic of that area here with her work.
