Welcome to my online design gallery! My name is Lauren Leigh Pretorius. I live in the lovely state of South Dakota with my husband, 2 pugs, and 2 parrots. I graduated in 2008 from Northern State University with a degree in graphic design and have been selling my paintings online since 2005. I absolutely love to paint, take photographs, and design anything that can be designed. My artwork is inspired by nature, music, and ample amounts of caffeine. I choose subject matter that is simple and recognizable and emphasize its defining characters to make something that is not normally considered interesting… well… interesting! On occasion, I like to involve a little humor as well. I feel it is important not to take life too seriously and I strive to express that in my artwork. As Federico Fellini would say,“Never lose your childish enthusiasm.” He couldn’t have said it any better... Thanks for stopping ♥
