Charles River Art
LAUREN KARP KINGHORN
In my art and my teaching, it is my calling and a gift that I enjoy sharing with others.
My goal is to celebrate and honor the creative process in every aspect of my work.
Whether through visual art, illustration, consultation, teaching, or art therapy, Charles River Art focuses on the positive change that the arts can bring to the world.
Lauren's art and healing practice focuses on self-expression, on taking risks, on moving out of your comfort zones, and on going deep within for introspection, as well as branching farther out into a larger global community.
Lauren's belief is that the arts have the power to heal the self, and one's community.
