Artist Bio

A Colorado native, Lauren Anderson grew up in Littleton and Boulder, and graduated from Fairview High School. She has always been interested in the healing arts, and though she was trained as an esthetician, she utilizes Reiki, aromatherapy, reflexology and homeopathy to provide her clients with holistic renewal with every treatment. She grew up loving to draw and paint and after high school began using painting as a way to relieve anxiety and express her innermost thoughts and feelings. Poetry was another medium she used to give form to her experiences, her perspectives and the wisdom of her soul. Both her poetry and her artwork now reflect a style and form born of her patience for experimentation and the journey to methods that best expressed the ideas she wanted to convey.

Taking Flight

Taking Flight
I watched her
for many years
struggle to make the decision
to leave a life she had
and start another one
one that is all her own
on her own

She walked away
with minimal belongings
two kids by her side
and more strength than she knew she had

Learning to fly can be scary
And sometimes it hurts
But once you leap
And trust the power of your wings
Learning to fly
And eventually taking flight
Is an experience
And a feeling
Unbeatable by anything else in the world
