Lauren Faulkner is a mixed media artist based in New York City exploring themes of girlhood. Utilizing printmaking techniques Faulkner’s compositions begin with low-relief, matrices of collected and found objects that are run through the printing press to create embossed paper frames. Building on the embossed paper surface, Faulkner responds to girlhood narratives and imagined worlds in graphite and oil paint. The attention to the materiality of natural elements in Faulkner’s work is informed by her Pacific Northwest upbringing and professional experience as an award-winning floral designer in New York City. Faulkner received her BA from the University of Puget Sound and her MFA from the New York Academy of Art in 2023. Faulkner has been the recipient of the LCU Fund for Women’s Education Scholarship, the Leslie T. and Francis Posey Scholarship and the Annual Milton and Sally Avery Fellowship for Visual Artists Award.
