Hey There!

My name is Lauren Haylock and I am an artist, animal lover, and crazy plant lady.

While I always knew that I loved art, my passion for plants and animals did not truly begin until later in life. Growing up in a household of people with fur allergies, I did not have many opportunities to get to know animals on a deep and personal level.

So, what changed?

During one summer -during my college years that I studied integrated studio arts at Iowa State University- I got a job working at a wildlife park as a photographer and eventually fell in love with a zookeeper who showed me the deep connections that could be had even with the fiercest and most dangerous of animals such as lions and tigers. He and I now live in the outskirts of the Uwharrie Mountains in North Carolina with our dogs, cats, fish, and plants.
