Lauren Bolshakov is a mixed media painter based in Charlotte, North Carolina. Her art practice is centered on a dynamic process of layering paint and line work, with each layer intuitively responding to the previous, creating works filled with movement and expression. Drawing inspiration from nature, motion, and the transient beauty of florals, her most recent body of work explores the convergence of fluid, transparent paint with denser, heavier-bodied applications.
Welcome Maddie Cratch to Well + Wonder! Y’all know we love an artist intro so thank you for indulging us with this exciting one launching Thursday at 10 am! Maddie is a lover of color, texture and funk. She began collage and multidimensional art out of an admiration for all the inspiring wallpaper designs she received when attempting to decorate their home. She could not let her leftover wallpaper samples go to waste, so she began to repurpose them to recreate unique, joyful, fun collages.
We are so excited to officially welcome Emma Carr tomorrow! Emma joins us from Birmingham, Alabama. She graduated from Mississippi State University with a major in Fine Art and a concentration in graphic design. Emma grew up in a very artistic family and began selling paintings at the age of fourteen. An Emma Carr original holds the tension between realism & abstract interestingly. She creates a variety of different pieces, including abstracts, hummingbirds, landscapes, and flowers. She's constantly growing her style and finds joy in learning along the way. Her debut collection, Winged Wonders, is full of texture, color, & whimsy.
