Lauren Rushing Art

As 2025 comes to a close, I’m feeling excited—and a little tender—about opening up even more in 2026 🌟

This piece held a lot of my time and energy this year. I use art as a way to express what I can’t always say out loud—often as a form of therapy. Though it carries the bright, playful language of a children’s book, the process was rooted in deep self-discovery and pain.

Everyone’s practice is different. Everyone’s story of life is different. At the heart of mine is healing old wounds so we can create the life our “lil selves” always deserved. Mental health matters. ❤️Generational trauma is real, and breaking the pattern means choosing a life worth living. Mine is lived in color and fibers 🌈❤️🌟

A lil candid Lo 🌈🫂
Grateful to all those who have connected the past month. October was good. 🙂‍↔️
