Lauren Scacchi is a contemporary practicing artist working in Cleveland, Ohio. She is a graduate from the Cleveland Institute of Art with a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree. Although her major and primary focus is painting, she works with a variety of mediums to be a well-rounded artist. Lauren’s practice is driven by the brilliance of nature. She finds value in reminding her audience of the importance of living organisms, and how we as humans are connected to them and to all of nature. Lauren’s work crosses between abstraction and representation. Using soft organic forms, and a soothing color palette. Lauren focuses on instilling a calm feeling within her viewers and creating a meditative experience while reminding them about the significance of taking time to stop and quiet our minds during daily chaos finding peace to just be present in a moment.
