Artist Biography and Statement:
BFA Graduate from Webster University.

“Animals always have been, and always will be, my passion. They have been the subject of my drawings ever since I was a child. I blame it on weekends spent at the Saint Louis Zoo and endless hours watching ‘National Geographic’s: Mutual of Omaha’. They influenced my desire to learn about biology while attending high school. While in High School, I began collecting bones, feathers, and books. Over these past few years, my passion grew to zoology, cosmology, and mythology.

In the Spring of 2012, I finally combined my obsessions into one drawing:’Galactic Collision’. The theme surrounding that piece has been the focus of my work ever since.” – Lauren Marx
