LAREN BAUM

FINE ART, COLORFUL, WATERCOLOR, OIL

Lynchburg, VA

Laren Baum has been avidly exploring fine art, with an emphasis on painting, since 2011. In addition to her concentrated study with Rosalie Day White, Laren has attended workshops and classes with Joan Fullerton, Colin Page, Mary Gilkerson, Andreas Bality, Purnell Pettyjohn and John Morgan. She has also studied in The Studio School at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts and during multiple retreats to Nimrod Summer Arts. Her work has been included in group exhibitions at the Academy Center of the Arts, Riverviews, Nelson Gallery, Lynchburg Art Club, Bower Center for the Arts, selected work for Downtown Lynchburg Association and Findings.

A native of Los Angeles, Laren moved to Virginia forty years ago. From intimate urban street perspectives to large expanses of sky at sunset to landscape-inspired abstracts, she hopes that the colors and movement in her work will affect the viewer with the emotion and contemplation she felt during their creation.
