"I generally have an idea or story in mind when I start painting, but sometimes it evolves on the canvas," Lauren says. "Being Aboriginal, my work mainly stems from either my family or country. I grew up on Gumbaynggirr country in a little coastal village so most of my earlier work is drawn from the ocean and the bush, but since visiting our grandparent's country I think my work has steered more to our Wiradjuri landscape." 💫 See more of @freestone_art's work and step inside her home at the link in bio.
