ABOUT 9 SIRENS CREATIVE
9 Sirens Creative was initially inspired by The Nine that appeared to Lauren shortly after her return to Virginia. It started slowly with number 2’s introduction while Lauren was working. Quickly, and quite forcefully, 3 made her presence known and demanded to be the first drawn. Lauren asked if any more were around once 2 and 3 had been drawn and 1 came. After that, the rest of The Nine slowly began to arrive. These women came with their own stories and personalities, all of which will be revealed in time. The companionship of these ladies and their inspiration lead to the fitting name, 9 Sirens, for this creative endeavor.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Lauren Walke creates work inspired by the creatures and aspects that visit her. She captures the stories shared with her from these visitations and turns them into pieces that radiate with a life and tangible presence of their own, allowing both the visitors and their stories to exist more fully for others to experience. Her work is created to breathe on its own, to tell its story boldly and force the viewer to be a witness to the unexpected and fantastical. Lauren’s work is amplified and enhanced by her daily rituals of seeking for moments of magic in her life with her family, by her focus on finding true balance within her sphere of control, her unending consumption of books and music, and by tending the shrines of tiny treasures and plants around her house.
She received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 2 Dimensional Studies at Weber State University in Ogden, Utah. When she isn’t working on illustration and story projects she can usually be found outside with her children and cat either looking for bees, bones, or other wild treasures to add to her magpie collection.
ABOUT THE WORK
Lauren works to provide artistic direction and visually illustrate creative stories, ideas, and concepts; making it possible for creative visions to be experienced, explored, and enjoyed more deeply by viewers. With each piece of art, she works to further enhance and bring to life the creative vision initially presented by clients. Her goal is to cause the viewer to, for a moment, forget about reality and instead believe in what is presented before them.
With years of experience working with a wide range of artistic mediums, Lauren is able to meet many visual and technical requirements necessary to enhance the collective workflow and complete projects quickly and efficiently. Lauren favors the traditional mediums of pencil and watercolor. With the use of these mediums, she is able to translate complex, abstract, or personal artistic visions of a client; without losing the recognizable visual signature of her work.

On a slight side note: while I didn't really find a lot of constructive critique for most of my classes, I think personal growth in art is more based on determination and self education of an artist than a great school. Don't search for an expensive university where you won't be able to pay off your student loans. I know people who are in $50,000-200,000 worth of debt where as I'm getting out of it at $27,000. Art is a hard career to get a job in. If you can't make a living off of it and pay off your loan money then an extremely expensive degree isn't worth it.
I've read articles that state that a degree at Yale only gives the graduates a one year step up from graduates from other colleges before they are all equaled out.
So that is just something to keep in mind.

(This is where Lawli gets bored of all that boring, absolutely mundane stuff and starts interrogating you-feel free to imagine yourself bound to some awkward metal chair, in a lifeless little dungeon somewhere with several lovely...ah, bloodstains? If you don't mind, we could have tea parties and imitate slightly drunk, tipsy/portly middle-aged men with beer bellies!)
