Lauren Browning is an artist and sculptor. She is currently an associate at Gevers Street Studio, a San Antonio hotspot for artists committed to community service work through art. Much of her time is spent working in her Hill Country studio, where she continues to sculpt, learn, and enjoy life.

Prior to working as an artist, Lauren was a research scientist for many years. She graduated in geology with honors from the University of Texas at Austin and received her Ph.D. in Geosciences in 1995 from the University of Tennessee. Her subsequent work involved developing geochemical computer models for the University of Hawaii, NASA, and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Lauren has exhibited her artwork in San Antonio, Austin, and Dallas, and is a member of the San Antonio Visual Artists and the Texas Sculpture Association. She's studied techniques in sculpture, drawing, and design from other artists while continuing to refine her appreciation of form, texture and color. Working with rocks has proved to be a natural medium for her. Her first sculpture, Mermaid, was accepted into a juried show at the San Antonio Governor’s Palace museum and she hasn’t looked back since.
