Lauren Blass • About

(Close)

I'm a painter and designer based in Seattle. I hold a BFA in Fine Art from Purchase College SUNY and I’ve worked in design since 2009.

I work in oil, using restrained color, a mix of layered glazes and wet-into-wet handling, and intentional mark-making to study posture and proximity — how a body negotiates its own presence. I'm drawn to unperformed bodies in unperformed moments: figures at rest or in brief retreat, the required maintenance that forces a body to pause.

Currently in and around Rainier Beach, where I live with my partner Mike, our two children, a dog, two cats, and an immortal guppy.
