AUTUMN MOMENTS

Studio UpdatesLauren Phelps

As summer winds down and autumn approaches, I can’t help but think about the nostalgia of the season. The beginning of the school year was always such an exciting time, and I love being able to experience it in a new way through my kids.

Every new school year reminds me of the fleeting nature of these simple moments and how fast time truly flies. Holding hands on the way to school, crisp leaves crunching underfoot as we walk home from the bus stop - I cherish these early fall memories.

My Big Little Moments sketches capture these memories in a loose and expressionistic way. I am opening up my Fall/Winter 2023 waitlist for a limited number of commissions.

To learn more about the commission’s process and access my extremely limited list, please subscribe to my newsletter here.

I am honored to continue sharing your stories.

With Love,

BIG LITTLE MOMENTS

Studio UpdatesLauren Phelps

Dear friends,

As I welcome the new year, I am excited to share that I have added a sketchbook practice to my daily agenda. I am taking part in the Brooklyn Art Library’s Tiny Sketchbook project, and my contribution will be part of a traveling library of sketchbooks.

Titled “Big Little Moments,” my sketchbook project is inspired by our biggest little moments as parents and is a celebration of mother and child. Now that nearly 100% of my time is spent on client commissions, this has been a very special place for me to complete quick studies full of intimacy and emotion. I have also used this as an opportunity to experiment with new materials and work freely without restrictions.

It has been the most joyful experience of storytelling and creative expression. I am thrilled to share some of my tiny pages with you here.

Love,

LP
