Meet the Artist: Real Art by a Real Human
Hi, I’m Lauren! Welcome to my Etsy shop. I’ve spent the last 25+ years living and breathing creativity as an artist, graphic designer, and photographer. I created this Etsy account in 2009, but it sat quietly in the background, untouched for 17 years. I'm only now putting it to use, so the shop is actually brand new (as of September 2026) even if the account isn't.
My work is inspired by vintage aesthetics, art, music, cameras, and (of course) my pugs, who are the center of my world. After losing my soul pug, Miso in late 2024, I started fostering for Pug Rescue of Florida & Georgia, and being surrounded by pugs has helped heal my heart from that devastating loss. I have now been rescued by 2 new, beautiful babies, Phoebe & Elliot, along with a rotating cast of fosters who mean the world to me. The pug collection is what has evolved here first, but I will be adding more over time, so check back in with me from time to time and see what's new.
Every item is designed by me (many starting with my own photography) and printed to order in the U.S.A. If you have questions or want to commission a unique, custom design made just for you, or a gift for someone special, send me a message and let’s make it happen.
Thanks so much for stopping by and for supporting an independent artist and small business!
