About Lauren Hanna

 

 

Lauren has spent the last decade experimenting with watercolor and gouache, combining her love of painting and hiking in beautiful Colorado. She is the Director of Public Relations for the Colorado Watercolor Society and has a distinguished career in Finance. As lifelong learner, Lauren is continually inspired to bring her favorite subjects (history and anthropology) to life, as well as documenting her many adventures throughout the Western United States.

Lauren is currently exploring the optimal balance between transparent and opaque watermedia to capture the essence of her subjects in the truest form of light, shadow, and obscurity.
