"The one thing that you have that nobody else has is you. 

Your voice, your mind, your story, your vision. So write and draw and build and play and dance and live as only you can."  - Neil Gaiman

About Lauren

In 1990, when I was in 7th grade, I discovered my love of woodworking (and in particular the scroll saw) in wood shop class and invented my first wall mounted jewelry display with the guidance of my teacher.  It wasn't until decades later (post college and during a career in the financial industry) that I felt a pull toward finding more time for creativity in my life.  With the encouragement and support of a career counselor, I slowly assembled a workshop and began creating and selling my designs by word of mouth.   Over the past 15+ years, I have enjoyed the problem-solving, experimental and playful nature of woodworking and design and have discovered my own creative voice and passion for functional art and design.  My goal is to continue to explore and try new things so that I never tire of the joy it brings to create with my hands.  The anchor of my work is the scroll saw, but I have also just recently started to learn how to use a laser machine to assist me with my parts making and to add a new dimension to my designs.  Both of these tools, among others I have collected in my work space over the years, allow me to turn ideas and drawings into architectural, three-dimensional art pieces.  While I believe truly anything can be a source for inspiration, I'm mostly inspired by nature,  the interplay between positive and negative space and pattern and texture.   

Thank you for visiting, hope to hear from you!

My 7th Grade Wood Shop/Scroll Saw Projects from 1990

The first thing I ever made on a scroll saw in my 7th grade woodshop class was this elephant box stand.  I keep this old project in my work shop to remind me of the spark that ignited my love of woodworking in 1990.

This photo shows the first jewelry display I made on a scroll saw in my 7th grade woodshop class.  Although it was more function over form, my mom used it for almost 20 years!
