Lauren M
Reilly
Environmental artist and science communicator, Lauren lives at the nexus of nature, design, and advocacy. Inspired by her science-dad and artsy mama, Lauren’s nature-based creative career was ignited early with the ethos of “leaving the world better than she found it.”
Living Studio
While art and science are often juxtaposed, Lauren saw the power in their intersection and founded Living Studio. A Miami-based nonprofit, Living Studio advances environmental awareness, social connection, and community wellbeing through the creation and exhibition of environmental art. Creative projects are lead by artists, scientists, and the public in collaboration.
Lauren's visual works are intimate dialogues between material and message, holding space for grief and loss while simultaneously celebrating connection, adaptation, and renewal. Through her work, Lauren aims to evoke empathy and hope by inviting others to engage with their inner worlds, their communities, and the landscapes that sustain them.
