Capture a special moment in time in a fresh, novel way. It's like a "Picasso" with a modern twist!

WHAT IS A BLIND PORTRAIT?

I specialize in drawing portraits "blind" - which means I don't look at the paper while I draw. This technique is so magical because in a world where we have increasingly lost the ability to truly connect with others, I offer a moment of connection where people experience the feeling of being "seen" by another person.

Guests walk away with a physical reminder of a special moment in time.

HOW DO THE LOGISTICS WORK?

I am based in Atlanta but I am able to travel for event work in the United States (or abroad if travel expenses are provided in your budget).

I can work within your existing space or bring my branded pop-up cart for local events.

It takes me about 2 minutes per portrait, with an average of 25 people drawn in an hour (with a 10 minute break per hour). I require a 2-hr minimum (6-hr maximum).​

WHAT DO GUESTS SAY ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE?

“There’s something refreshing about having someone take the time to look into your eyes and connect with you on a deeper level. Lauren is so good at making you feel like you’re the only person in the room.”

“I saw Lauren’s interactive blind portraits at an event and squealed out loud! I couldn’t wait to get one for myself. I was blown away by how quickly she was painting and also making you feel so special while drawing you. It was a blast (and so impressive!) to watch her work, and the final piece was better than I could’ve dreamed it would be!”

“It’s rare to meet a person and feel connected so quickly, but after walking away from my chat with Lauren and letting her draw a blind portrait of me,

I truly felt seen. It was a fun way to get a unique piece of art!”

- Anna
