God the Mother—Hope

©Lauren Walke

Lauren got her BFA at Weber State University where she began her magpie collection of bones, feathers, and other found treasures before moving back to the older mountains of Appalachia. Inspired by lore and dreams, Lauren’s work is amplified and enhanced by her focus on daily rituals, seeking for moments of magic in life alongside her family, an unending consumption of books and music, and by tending the shrines of tiny treasures and plants around her house.
