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.

I bought my first piece, “Beacon Heights” from Lauren in 2017 just as we moved back to the high country. It perfectly captures the beauty of one of my favorite places. Later that year my husband bought me “Moonshine” as a gift on our wedding day, a stunning piece that we cherish so much. We bought “Forest Floor” a couple of years ago and its delicate beauty really brings to life the small miracles along the trails we love so much. Lauren’s work not only beautifully captures the natural world, but also helps make our house into a home.

I just met Lauren and found her work a few weeks ago. I absolutely loved her “Grandfather Mountain” print as soon as I saw it. My art selection criteria is ‘does looking at it make you happy?’ I’m love seeing it every time I come home on the wall with the rest of my collection that just makes me happy.
