About Lauren Jones
Art has always been a passion of mine, my site includes a variety of mediums and projects I've completed over the years both in school and on my own. Most recently I have been learning to paint with oils and improving my throwing ability on the wheel. My work is inspired by nature and people with a focus on color and aesthetic appeal.
