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.

Lala Land


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.
