Lauren Schlepp
Artist Bio
Lauren’s desire in her artistic practice is that when shared with other people, they can feel the same joy she experiences while creating! Lauren strives to be a bit of a Renaissance woman and have as many life experiences as possible when it comes to art and will try her hand at almost any creative endeavor that comes her way because her artistic motto is "Why not try?"
After attending OSU for 3 years, Lauren transferred to the University of Central Oklahoma where she earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in Museum Studies; graduating in 2016. After graduating she worked at several museums in the OKC metro from the Prix De West Auction Show at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum to working as a Gallery Guide at Oklahoma Contemporary.

Artist Work
Title: Do Over
Category: Visual Arts
Genre: Painting - Acrylic
Description: "Do Over" is exactly that, a do-over. I started painting in one style and I didn't like it, so I painted over it. I purposefully didn't cover it up all the way so you can see the shadows of the first style underneath. Take it as a metaphor for life.
Title: Perpendicular
Category: Visual Arts
Genre: Painting - Acrylic
Description: Perpendicular was my first painting accepted into the Oklahoma Visual Arts Coalition 12"x12" auction in 2023. Purple is my favorite color and my brain "gets" geometric patterns and color work.
Title: Color Wheel
Category: Visual Arts
Genre: Painting - Acrylic
Description: A continuation of my geometric squares series, this painting condenses rainbow colors into six, gradient squares.
