ABOUT ME

Lauren Renée Webb is a freelance artist who established her business, Art Attack, LLC, in 2011 at the age of eighteen. She is familiar with various forms of art including drawing, painting, graphic design, interior design, and textile design. Acrylics, oils, graphite, colored pencils, and pen & ink appear often in her work with meticulous detailing and surreal imagery. 

After graduation from Virginia Tech, Lauren is now pursuing a career in product & textile design at C&F Enterprises while promoting her artwork, murals, and painting parties. She strives to make a name for herself as an accomplished, local artist in Hampton Roads, Virginia.

“The images I create help me organize my opinions, beliefs, and interests. The playful compositions reflect my hometown, personal situations, and influential artists. I adore detailed portraiture, and enjoy combining different subjects to compose an illusion of figures and objects. My metamorphic style incorporates smooth shading, idealistic elements, and hidden concepts.”
