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.

Passion


Passion
By definition:
  • a strong feeling or emotion
  • heat: the trait of being intensely emotional
  • rage: something that is desired intensely
  • mania: an irrational but irresistible motive for a belief or action
  • a feeling of strong sexual desire
  • love: any object of warm affection or devotion
I sat down to draw this with anger in my heart.
In my attempt to capture anger
on paper
in color
"passion" happened.
In more ways than one.
It became clear that the difference between
passion and anger,
anger and hate,
hate and love,
love and passion
is so little
that all i experience
and all i feel
can be boiled down to one TRUE emotion
ONE word.
PASSION.
My attempt to put an image to anger
turned into a loving
and calming experience
of embracing life
and choosing to live with passion.
Forever.
No matter what.
