EdgyPetal's Profile

Bio

Hello! I'm Lauren, a 23 year old artist who has lived in and around the Chicago area my whole life. I grew up in Naperville, moved to the city, and am currently living and creating in Oak Park. I just graduated with a BA in fine arts from Columbia College Chicago.

I've been interested in art and jewelry since I was a kid. It all started with a rock collection and has grown from there!

I am currently working with mostly bottlecaps. I love the idea of using these small, recycled vessels to make wearable jewelry and fun magnets.

Each piece I make is created with great care and consideration. I use a wide range of materials including beads, photos, and collages made from various sources including tarot cards.
