About the Artist

Hi there!

My name is Lauren Valdes, and I am so delighted you’re here! I am an artist and recent graduate, having received my B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Memphis, after spending a number of years studying in The Bronx, NY as well as in Chattanooga, TN. My life has now led me to Denver, CO, where I am based now.

In addition to creating visual artwork for the past ten years, specializing in acrylic and watercolor painting, pen and pencil drawing, and scratchboard etching, my college courses guided me to turn my artistic and technical abilities to producing more interactive three-dimensional products with my new skills of 3D modeling and 3D printing.

Now, I turn my focus back to visual artwork and am diving into the world of weddings, engagements, and events with couple’s portraits, as well as now offering live wedding painting services. My aim is to immerse myself in the feelings of these special moments, so they may be captured and shared, whether I am painting live at the event or in my studio, so that viewers of my work can feel them too, whether they were physically present for the event or not.

Please feel free to engage with the body of work featured throughout this website. Don’t hesitate to contact me, message me on socials, pick my brain, correct my spelling, fill out a form just for fun, ask me questions, teach me something new. Let’s connect.

I am grateful to be in this new stage of my life and career and am thrilled to have this chance to continue to create with you all and share new work very soon.

Love,

Lauren
