Today we’d like to introduce you to Lauren Galinsky.
Hi Lauren, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
I’m sort of a late-in-life artist even though I’ve always been interested since I was little. Art and I have gone through many highs and lows. I’ve always loved drawing but only gravitated to painting when I started working on pet portraits. The first one I did was a memorial piece for a friend whose dog passed away. She was so touched and it felt really special to be a part of providing a little comfort to someone going through grief. Since then, I’ve worked on many different kinds of commissions. I really enjoy learning about all of the reasons why these pets are so special. It’s very rewarding and enjoyable!
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
I struggled for most of my life, wanting to make a career out of my art talents but never having the energy or motivation to pursue anything. I’m not quite there yet, but I finally have the momentum to be closer than ever before to my goals.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
I’m mostly known for my pet portraits which are graphic in quality but still highly detailed. I also recently launched my miniature portrait offering which are adorable 3 x 4 paintings.
Do you have any memories from childhood that you can share with us?
Summer camps were always a highlight. I particularly enjoyed arts and crafts. It felt good to be able to create something!
