My work is a colorful collection of the beauty that surrounds me in Hawaii. Everything from the blooming flowers to the turquoise ocean, the magnificent mountains and all the colors, textures and emotions that each of them project. I love to capture inspirations with my sketchbook and camera before bringing them to life with a paintbrush.
I have been creating my entire life. It’s what I do to express myself, to relax, for fun, for work, truly whenever, wherever! I’ve always viewed art as an extension of myself, everything I see and touch my brain processes into an art piece and my hands are always moving as if I should be painting.
Originally from New Jersey, I attended the Savannah College of Art and Design and graduated in 2007 with a BFA in Illustration and Art History. I moved to Hawaii in 2009 to work as a Graphic Artist for the Whole Foods Market in Honolulu. While there, I showed my art at galleries, art fairs, coffee shops and restaurants, before pursuing my art career full time in October of 2012. Since then, I’ve expanded into textile design and a full line of apparel, home décor, and accessories. I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with companies such as Hermes, Nordstrom, RipCurl, Kate Spade, LeSportsac, ANA Airlines, and many others.
In 2018, my husband and I opened the Lauren Roth Art Gallery in our hometown of Kailua. We wanted to open a place not only to display my work and products, but also to create a space that supports local art and artists in the community. Shortly after we opened, our sister company, Lauren Roth Japan, launched in Tokyo.
Although art is my passion, I find the most joy in connecting with people through my work. Any time I can bring a little bit of joy through bright colors and whimsical creations, it fills my heart.
