Biography

Lauren Pearce (b. 1988) is multi-media artist who lives and works in in Cleveland Ohio.

Her output ranges from complex free hand drawings of varying sizes to outsized outdoor murals executed in vibrant colours. Also adept at portraiture, her versatility is reflected in the varied sizes these are executed in, from smaller intimate painting to canvases measuring nine by nine feet.

Ever cognisant of how her African American identity influences her practice, the artist has consciously tapped into her more expressive self, employing a wide range of materials, colours and surface media in the production of her art. The free reign has resulted in a fuller expression of her views about her Jamaican heritage, wider racial politics, feminist ideology and motherhood.

A full-time studio artist, recent exhibitions have included multiple solo shows in her native Cleveland and a very successful outing as part of Truth Be Me, a show celebrating black female creativity in New York.
