The Artist's Vision
In addition to the gift of life itself, God, our Creator, also gives each of us gifts and talents which reflect His majesty. As a child, Freda Lauren became aware of her gift of “artistic vision” . It was that vision that launched this American Artist’s artistic journey at youth and has continued through a long and fulfilling career.
Beautifully expressed renderings reflect her profound appreciation for nature and the uniqueness of each individual. Her keen visual sense of observation, and her skill to capture a subject's likeness make this Artist's work especially desirable.

Oils require 4-8 months

3/4 Length from $3,500.

Pastel Portraits
Regarding artwork, "Pastels", refers to a chalk-type medium with the same pigments as in oil paints. Like oils, the effect can be soft and ethereal or boldly vivid. Unlike oil paints, pastels are a dry medium, which require no drying time and therefore are typically completed and ready for framing in less time than oil paintings. Once pastel paintings are properly framed, they, like oil paintings, can last for generations

Upper Torso from $1200.
Head Pose from $900.
