2026 Artist ~
Lauren Kwapisz

Lauren Kwapisz is a multidisciplinary artist who enjoys working in both traditional and digital mediums. Inspired by the world around her, she creates artwork that focuses on capturing the depth, emotion, and life of three-dimensional subjects within two-dimensional spaces.

Working professionally as a graphic artist while also pursuing commissioned artwork as a personal passion, Lauren blends technical skill with artistic expression to create pieces that feel both vivid and personal. Her work is driven by a deep appreciation for observation, atmosphere, and the subtle details that bring a subject to life. Through painting, illustration, sculpting, writing, sewing, and digital art, she strives to create meaningful visual experiences that resonate with viewers and preserve the beauty she sees in everyday moments.
