Currently residing in Denton Texas, Lauren E. Allen graduated Cum Laude from Texas Woman’s University in 2014 with a concentration in photography. They are currently enrolled at  the University of North Texas and expected to graduate with their Masters in Fine Arts - Studio Art in Spring of 2024.

Lauren’s work focuses on translating and reconstructing memories of their experiences as a neuro-divergent person. Utilizing abstracted photographic imagery and fiber, viewers are forced to confront ideas of weakness, fragility, and disposability while still experiencing familiarity. Their work has been included in exhibitions at the Rocky Mountain School for Art and Design’s Rotunda Gallery (Denver, Co) Decode Gallery (Tucson, AZ) and 500X Gallery (Dallas, TX) among others with solo exhibitions at The Alcove (Denton, TX) and The Jung Center (Houston, TX).
