Lauren Alexander is an Austin-based figurative painter whose work explores the relationship between the body and lived experience. Through contemporary oil painting and charcoal, she creates intimate figures that invite viewers to slow down and consider memory, vulnerability, and what it means to inhabit a body.
Originally trained as an illustrator, Alexander's practice has evolved toward immersive figurative work that values presence over perfection, inviting viewers to reflect on the stories our bodies carry.
