Lauren Clapp is a St. Paul, MN based illustrator, just recently released into the art world from the College of Visual Arts. Her main medium is embroidery or cross stitch, but still keeps traditional mediums (such as drawing and painting) near and dear to her heart. Lauren says, “Being witty and finding cuteness in the world helps inspire me to create colorful little pieces of art and crafts!”
