Artist Bio

Lauren is a Niitsitapi, Dene visual artist. Lauren’s practice focuses on painted portraiture, experimental mapmaking and immersive installation. Her background includes working with youth, radio programming and illustration. The purpose of the work she has done thus far has been to examine the function of colonialism in portraiture and other histories that aren’t always truthful representations of Indigenous existence. As such, Lauren’s portraits describe Indigenous people as they appear to her. Through her work she celebrates nuanced experiences, and seeks a sincere understanding of the many facets of Indigenous life.
