Lauren Camara

About the Artist:

Lauren Camara is a self-taught artist and graphic designer based in the Bronx, New York. She has always been fascinated by the unusual textures, bold colors and intricate patterns that characterize paper. A professional graphic designer for the past 25 years, Lauren first became interested in creating art using paper when she found herself saving the books of paper swatches she received from printing companies. She dreamed of somehow incorporating them into artwork. Eventually, she used those paper samples to create her first cut paper piece.

Lauren is inspired by her family that spans a variety of cultures and religions as well as her community, nature, music and New York City. The textures, patterns and colors of the papers she chooses represent the contrasts, complexities and contradictions of her experiences.
