Story

Lauren Duncan marvels at the big and bold circles God has made in her life.  She was born outside of Auburn, AL where she lives today. She has loved creating from an early age-her parents signed her up for art classes and bought her supplies to keep her busy.

Lauren got her undergraduate degree from Auburn University and her Master’s in Art Education from the University of Alabama at Birmingham.  She taught art in Birmingham and later at an international Christian school in Ghana, West Africa.  She returned to Auburn for what she thought would be a brief stay but met her husband and ended up making Auburn home again.

Currently, Lauren teaches art to small groups, helps run her family store, cultivates creative community though The Local Market and spends time in her studio. She prayerfully follows the Lord’s nudges to paint, write, and love on sweet foster babies.
