Lauren Brumbach

STATEMENT

My work seeks to create safe places driven by love and grace. Split between representational work and abstract pieces, my paintings unpack relationships between humanness and our living natural world. My paintings are visual expressions of a poem, a song or a prayer — the colorful manifestation of still moments.

Where I grew up has a particularly rich impact on the subject matter of my representational paintings. The lifestyle in my hometown is slower, the landscape seems to set still both time and people. In a day and age that feels like we are rushing through our days and forgetting to be present, I want to remind us of a place where "rush" doesn't exist - there is only the fields, the farm, and the creeks.

My entire painting practice is about paying attention to small still moments. When I'm painting, i'm listening. How are the colors interacting? what are these soft whispers saying and why?

BIO

Lauren Brumbach Ebersole is a professional artist and graphic designer who works consistently in the fine art and freelance markets.
Lauren knew at a very young age that her life would be one lived in wonder.
She grew up in a sleepy little farm town where time moves a little slower, dinner is always at 5:00 and phrases like “wie geht’s” and “mach’s gut” aren’t foreign. The inherent simplicity and appreciation for life fuels her desire to create.
In 2015, Lauren moved to Philadelphia, PA where she completed her Master’s Degree in Museum Exhibition Planning + Design from the University of the Arts. In 2014, Lauren received her Bachelor’s Degree in Art and Art History with a focus in painting from Lebanon Valley College. During this time, she spent five months abroad studying in Perugia, Italy. Her study of architectural textures and the significant impact art can have on culture, history and society continues to influence her body of work.
Throughout her graduate education, Lauren studied under influential instructors whose ability to look at the world upside down and marvel at its possibility evolved her own perspective and transformed her art practice.
It is her goal to share the positive impact of art and design on the human spirit ­— be that through dynamic branding, exhibitions or conversations over coffee. Lauren’s work has been shown in global magazines as well as group and solo shows across the US. including, Lansing, MI and the Washington, DC metro area.
Lauren lives and works in Maryland.
