Original Oil & Watercolor Paintings by Lauren Kate
I’m a New York–based artist working in oil and watercolor. My paintings are inspired by my travels from San Diego to Norway and everywhere in between. Oil painting offers me a medium that feels both natural and expressive, while watercolor allows me to experiment more freely.

My current work is influenced by the places and details that linger after travel, though I’ve always loved painting from photographs of pets. I may open a limited number of commissioned pet portraits in the future. Commission inquiries welcome.
