Influenced by expansive mountain views along the Linn Cove Viaduct, this print brings this iconic Blue Ridge Parkway feature to life through seven layers of color and embossing. The sky above features a topographic map that depicts nearby elevation changes, offering a realistic portrayal of the surrounding landscape. A diamond shape within the heart of the composition signifies the location of the exact viewpoint along the Blue Ridge Parkway, drawing attention to this particular focal perspective.
This artwork is a testament to detailed craftsmanship through the reduction printmaking technique. The process involves gradually carving multiple layers of color from a single block, resulting in a rich and detailed composition. The artwork is further enhanced by embossed three-dimensional details, including intricate, raised lines representing the topographic map, the winding parkway road, and the outer framing borders. Each layer is printed using custom-mixed, traditional oil-based inks to achieve nuanced and expressive colors. The deliberate, time-consuming character of this manual process mirrors the unhurried nature of taking the scenic route along the Blue Ridge Parkway.
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.
