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.

Lauren’s clients include American Greetings, Bumkins, Calypso Cards, Capstone, Design House Greetings, Galison/ Mudpuppy Press, Girls' Life Magazine, LG, Loloi Rugs, Mindware, Papyrus, Peaceable Kingdom, Scholastic Klutz, Sellers Publishing and Utne Reader.
