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 &amp; ink appear often in her work with meticulous detailing and surreal imagery.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After graduation from Virginia Tech, Lauren is now pursuing a career in product &amp; textile design at C&amp;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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;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.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"section-title center\">Follow Me<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"social\">\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" class=\"facebook\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ArtAttackLLC\"><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" class=\"instagram\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/artattackva\/\"><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" class=\"linkedin\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/lauren-webb-a280a036\/\"><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" class=\"pinterest\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/loubuggyboo\/_created\/\"><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" class=\"pw-icon-music-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@laurenwebbart?lang=en\"><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"section-title center\">FUN FACTS<\/h2>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-sm-4 col-xs-6 col-md-2 \">\n<div class=\"fun-fact\"><i class=\"pw-icon-smiley\"><\/i><\/p>\n<h4>My nickname is Loubug<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-sm-4 col-xs-6 col-md-2 \">\n<div class=\"fun-fact\"><i class=\"pw-icon-heart-filled\"><\/i><\/p>\n<h4>Bunnies are my favorite animal<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-sm-4 col-xs-6 col-md-2 \">\n<div class=\"fun-fact\"><i class=\"pw-icon-sun\"><\/i><\/p>\n<h4>Happiest during Summer<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-sm-4 col-xs-6 col-md-2 \">\n<div class=\"fun-fact\"><i class=\"pw-icon-icq\"><\/i><\/p>\n<h4>Country &amp; rap music are my go-to<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-sm-4 col-xs-6 col-md-2 \">\n<div class=\"fun-fact\"><i class=\"pw-icon-t-shirt\"><\/i><\/p>\n<h4>My first job was designing t-shirts at a screen-printing shop<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-sm-4 col-xs-6 col-md-2 \">\n<div class=\"fun-fact\"><i class=\"pw-icon-brush\"><\/i><\/p>\n<h4>15+ years experience in art &amp; design<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"section-title center\">Education<\/h2>\n<div class=\"row\">\n\u2022\t2014 &#8211; Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (VA Tech), Blacksburg, VA<br \/>\nBFA in Studio Art with a Fine Arts Concentration &amp; Art History Minor<br \/>\n\u2022\t2010 &#8211; Poquoson High School, Poquoson, VA<br \/>\nAdvanced Studies in Art<br \/>\n\u2022\t2009 &#8211; Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, NY<br \/>\nInterior Design Pre-College Program<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"section-title center\">Awards, Exhibits, and Publications<\/h2>\n<div class=\"row\">\n2021 &#8211; Painted an outdoor mural at Redwood Smoke Shack, Norfolk, VA<br \/>\n2020 &#8211; Painted an indoor mural in the 3800 Acqua Lifestyle Apartments, Suffolk, VA<br \/>\n2019 &#8211; Selected to paint an outdoor mural on the Benton Knight building across from the Air &amp; Space Museum, Hampton, VA<br \/>\n2018 &#8211; Designed the SWAT patch for the Hampton, Police Department, Hampton, VA<br \/>\n2016 &#8211; Selected as a Finalist for The Hampton Convention Hall Of Arts XVII, Hampton, VA<br \/>\n2015 &#8211; Selected for Judging in the Virginia Beach Neptune Festival &amp; Newport News Port Warwick Festival, VA<br \/>\n2014 &#8211; Independent Art Exhibition, Heavy Breathing, Armory Gallery, Blacksburg, VA<br \/>\n2013 &#8211; Virginia Tech Perspective Gallery Exhibition, Blacksburg, VA<br \/>\n2012 &#8211; Appeared &amp; Interviewed on Two Local TV Networks, The Hampton Roads Show and Round Robin<br \/>\n2012 \u2013 Poquoson Seafood Festival Juried Show, 3rd Place, Poquoson, VA<br \/>\n2012 \u2013 Hampton Bay Poster Contest, 2nd Place, Hampton, VA<br \/>\n2011 &#8211; Blue Skies Art Gallery Exhibition, Hampton, VA<br \/>\n2011 \u2013 Hampton Bay Days Poster Contest Winner, Hampton, VA<br \/>\n2011 \u2013 Eating Disorder Awareness Video for the Screening For Mental Health, 3rd Place, Nationwide<br \/>\n2011 \u2013 Newsletter Publication for the Screening For Mental Health, Distributed to all College Campuses Nationwide<br \/>\n2010 \u2013 Peninsula Fine Arts Center (PFAC), Honorable Mention in High School Juried Exhibition, Newport News, VA<br \/>\n2010 \u2013 Poquoson Seafood Festival Art Exhibition, 1st Place, Poquoson, VA<br \/>\n2009 \u2013 Virginia School Board Association (VSBA) Tidewater Regional Art Contest, 1st Place, VA State Winner<br \/>\n2008 \u2013 PFAC, Participant in High School Juried Exhibition, Newport News, VA<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lauren Ren\u00e9e Webb is a freelance artist who established her business, Art Attack, LLC, in 2011 at the age of eighteen.
