Lauren Lowen is a digital artist, illustrator, and surface designer that enjoys creating quirky, silly characters and art full of color and texture. She describes her work as “whimsically awkward and awkwardly whimsical”. Lauren enjoys making light-hearted illustrations for folks to help their products make customers smile!

Lauren Lowen is our resident Comedic Queen, and she expresses her infectious humor beautifully through her work. Since graduating from the Illustration Department at The Rhode Island School of Design, Lauren’s artwork has appeared in magazines, on book covers, and even as stickers! She taught Illustration at both Montserrat College of Art and RISD before starting a new chapter working in the gift and stationery industry.  Lauren lives with her husband in Nashville, creating whimsical illustrations and surface design for a variety of markets including editorial, publishing and licensing.  She said “You can find me currently teaching at Watkins College of Art, Design & Film and probably eating sushi,” her favorite food.
