Lauren Brevner is Japanese Canadian, self-taught, mixed media artist from Vancouver, Canada. Unable to afford art school, she gained her skills & determination to become an artist while apprenticing under renowned artist, Sin Nakayamal in Osaka, Japan. Her portraits of women find their Japanese influence in the gold & silver leaf detailing & collage of patterned chiyogami, yuzen & washi paper in their clothing. Lauren's passion for experimentation has led her to mural painting & collaborations with First Nations sculptor, James Harry.
