“My work centers around sense of place and the respiratory system of moving through a landscape, while translating from the boundary of self and what we have termed as 'wild' and thus deemed perceptible as something outside of the self…”

Lauren De Vine is a botanical artist working in illustration, the written word, and flavor composition.

“Lauren’s works read like love letters sent from the outer boundaries of human consciousness and natural space. Informed by five consecutive years on the road, pursuing the deepest possible understanding of her personal solitude: these transmissions transport her audience to space at the edges through her unique rhythmic drumming of prose, calling forth the senses against new terrain; land or human”

“Lauren is a true original. She’s tapped into some secret language spoken by whispering wind and unformed thought. Reading her writing reminds me that every form of beauty has a name and a voice and that most of us just aren’t listening close enough.” -Michael Sparks Jr. musician and writer

“…her prose and other work is some of the truest and deepest work I've seen, cutting the line and dancing to the front of the stage like jazz.” -Deborah Stein. illustrator

“I love Lauren cuz of that big heart of hers. I always walk away from my encounters with her feeling a renewed lust for life - like I was just reminded of what I live for. She has this effect for people, this ring of truth in her words that can only come from an artist who has really dared to live, and truly feel into the humanity in all of us.” -Nico Georis. musician

“Being in Lauren's presence and working alongside her is like being propelled by a richly imaginative and concrete stream of energy, positivity, vision, and a deep sense of community. Reading Lauren's words means being deeply present with reality, with a narrator who sees and feels deeply the souls of people surrounding her, the heartbeat of the road, momentum, water, and mountains.” -Masha Kouznetsova. artist
