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

Dragonfly's

Dragonfly Medicine
Dragonfly ...
Breaks illusions,
Brings visions of power,
No need to prove it,
Now is the hour!

Know it, believe it,
Great Spirit intercedes,

Feeding you, blessing you,
Filling all your needs.
If Dragonfly has flown into your life today, you may have forgotten to water your plants. On another level, you may need to give thanks to the foods you eat for sustaining your body. On the psychological level, it may be time to break down the illusions you have held that restrict your actions or ideas.
Dragonfly medicine always beckons you to seek out the parts of your habits which you need to change. Have you put on too much weight, or have you started to look like a scarecrow? Have you tended to the changes you have wanted to make in your life? If you feel the need for change, call on Dragonfly to guide you through the mists of illusion to the pathway of transformation.

I love to paint. I sit in front of a blank canvas, spread out a dozen colors or so in front of me, pick up a paint brush, and begin to create something. Before i begin to paint, I usually have some idea of what i will be "creating". I begin with an idea and always finish with something that never looks the way I had envisioned. I usually like it more then the original idea in my mind.Why can't we live life the same way? Be adaptable, open and trusting. Trust that no matter how things end up, even if different than planned, it can still be beautiful and worth while...and most of the time better than what we ever thought possible.

What if we could paint our life? Sit down in front of a blank canvas, pick our colors and spread them out in front of us, pick up a paint brush, and begin to paint. Paint with no expectations of what the finished product will be. Just paint. Have fun. Be creative. Let go. Find beauty that's beyond our imagination and most importantly, beyond our control.
